Sunset_Volga_Konakovo
Sunset on the Volga River in Konakovo. Russia.
The pride and pearl of the Konakovsky district is the Ivankovskoye reservoir. It arose in connection with the construction of the Moscow canal, and was formed as a result of the backwater of the Volga waters by the Ivankovskaya dam. Ivankovskoe reservoir, also known as the Moscow Sea.
The width of the reservoir is 2-5 km, the length is about 30 km.
The reservoir is held by a 9-kilometer dam up to 14 meters high. The canal soldiers poured it with wheelbarrows and manually reinforced it with stones from the outside.
During the construction of the reservoir in 1936, the district town of Korcheva and several dozen surrounding villages, which fell into the flooded zone, were destroyed.
The Moscow Canal originates from the Ivankovskoye Reservoir, supplying fresh water to Moscow and watering the Moskva River. The Ivankovskaya hydroelectric power station operates on the drain of the reservoir. The reservoir is used as a cooling reservoir for a large power plant - Konakovskaya GRES.
In the water area of the reservoir, about three hundred islands were formed, most of which are uninhabited. Recreation centers have been created on the largest islands. On the shores of the reservoir there are many rest houses, boarding houses, pioneer camps and the famous Zavidovsky reserve, which houses one of the residences of the President of the Russian Federation, as well as the Zavidovo recreation complex.
