Where does the sea come from in Kiev?
Many indigenous people and guests from other places and countries have already managed to evaluate all the available advantages of the reservoir, which is popularly called the Kiev Sea.

The dam blocks the Dnieper near the village of Vyshgorod, which is located near Kiev. Kiev reservoir stretches along the Dnieper - from the village above to the village of Dnieper, along the Pripyat - from the mouth to the city of Chernobyl, and along the Teterev - from the mouth to the village of Bogdany. It is one of the largest reservoirs on the Dnieper. Its width reaches 12 km in some places. Depth - from 2 to 15 m. This reservoir is used both for supplying Kiev with drinking water, and for Kiev state district power station in order to obtain energy (due to the difference in height).
