Severnoe Reservoir, reservoir in Rostov Oblast, Russia
Severnoe Reservoir is a small reservoir on the Kamyshevakha stream, a tributary of the Temernik, in Rostov-on-Don's Severny residential district. A dam divides it into an Upper part near the Surb Khach church and a Lower part near hospital BSM-2. The Upper part holds a small island reached by a footbridge, and its spillway is shaped like a water lily.
The reservoir was created in the 1970s on the Kamyshevakha stream, a tributary of the Temernik, in Rostov-on-Don's Severny residential district. A dam divides it into an upper and a lower basin; that dam was rebuilt in 2005. The lower dam also carries a two-lane road linking Bodraya and Borko streets.
The area around the reservoir is open and accessible, with simple paths along the shoreline for walking and observation. Visitors should be prepared for changing weather conditions, especially during winter months when the water may partially freeze.
