Lake Vuzovskoe

Description

Due to the lack of water in the rapidly growing city in the 30s of the last century, the October Revolution Canal was laid. Later, the clay banks of the canal were "dressed" in a concrete "shirt". But nevertheless, water, especially during the flood period, entered the city with a very high content, as we say, of suspended solids. Water clarification was required. For this purpose, in the central part of Makhachkala, south of the Anzhi-Arka ridge, a natural beam was fenced with an earthen bed and a capacity of one million cubic meters filled with water was formed, which has since been called the University Lake. The water intake of the Vuzovsky Lake, located in the central part of the city, as before, is intended for the drinking and technical water supply of Makhachkala. The source of incoming water is COR. The capacity of the University reservoir is one million cubic meters, of which the useful volume is seven hundred thousand cubic meters. The area of the water mirror is twenty–two hectares.
