Description
Zaslawskaye reservoir is the second largest artificial reservoir of Belarus, second in size to the largest Vileyka reservoir. It was created in 1956 by a dam on a Svislach river in order to control floods in Minsk and to regulate the flow of the river. It is part of the Vileyka-Minsk water system.[1] The bowl of the reservoir was a swampy floodplain of the Svisloch, Vyacha, Ratomka and Chernyavka rivers before flooding. It is located just 5 km from Minsk, and is often called the Minsk sea.[2][3][4]
