Cheboksary Reservoir, Artificial lake on Volga River in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
The Cheboksary Reservoir extends across 2,190 square kilometers, featuring a maximum width of 16 kilometers and reaching depths of 35 meters.
The construction of the reservoir, initiated in 1968 and completed in 1986, required the relocation of multiple settlements along the Volga River banks.
The reservoir connects three major regional centers - Nizhny Novgorod, Cheboksary, and Kozmodemyansk - influencing the daily life patterns of local communities.
The water body supplies irrigation needs, maintains water levels for navigation, and generates hydroelectric power through the Cheboksary Dam system.
The reservoir contains submerged sections of the Mari Depression, creating specific underwater landscapes that affect local fish populations.
