At first glance it seems that the hydrographic network of the Crimea is quite extensive - 1657 permanent and temporary watercourses, and among them about 150 rivers. However, the Crimean Rivers are little similar to the plain. These are small mountain rivers that are rather reminiscent of the streams. In the summer they almost completely dry. In the innocent period, the channel is quenched with boulders of different sizes and forms; Among them, it is not always possible to notice a thin stream of water. But it stands in the mountains to go through abundant rains, how the rivers are instantly overlooking the shores and rapidly walk down, capturing into streams and large stones, and trees-feeded with roots. This must be constantly remembered to tourists when choosing a place for overnight.
The main water arteries of the Crimea are the Saligir River, Alma and Kacha. Salgir is formed from the confluence of the rivers of the Angara and Dog-Kitobov: The first originates on the northern slope of Chatyr-Dag, and the second of the famous caves of the same name. Salgir, together with his influx, Biyuk-Karasu is the largest water system of Crimea. The average annual stock of Salgir at Simferopol is 55 million cubic meters. True, north of Simferopol, the stock decreases sharply, and in the lower flow, which falls on the steppe part, the Saligir often dries. Salgir flows into Sivash.
At Salgir and Biyuk-Karasu, pretty large reservoirs were built: Simferopol, Anyanskoye, Tagigan and Belogorsk, playing an important role in the water supply of the cities of Simferopol and Belogorsk, as well as in the irrigation of land.
The fourth largest River of the Crimea - Alma - in the picturesque central hollow (Crimean natural Reserve), among age-old beech and oak forests. It is formed from the confluence of small Sary-Su rivers, Savley, Sous and Babugash. The average annual stock of the alma is 38 million cubic meters. m. In the upper course, within the borders of the reserve, there are many tributaries to the Alma: Bodrac, Spit (Cosos), Malave, Piskur, Dry Alma, etc. When leaving the central brand, the Alma is regulated by a series of ponds in which the rainbow trout is divorced. In addition, two reservoirs were created on this river - Almian and partisan. Alma is in the Black Sea.
River Kacha in magnitude and water differs little from the alma. Its average long-term stock - 58 million cubic meters. It is nascent it is high in the mountains, on the northern slope of Babugan, under the canopy of century-old beech forests. In the upper current, Kacha is formed by one cascade of small waterfalls after another, its coarse, rocky, are littered with half-chased beecles, which sometimes create entire congestion. The river seems tightly clamped here and from the sides, and at the top. But with. Shelkically, she goes into a wide valley with magnificent fruit gardens. In general, the Kaczynskaya Valley, if you look at it from above, from the Chukel Pass or from the foot of the Roman-Kosha is one of the most picturesque spectacles mountain Crimea. It is the endless sea of \u200b\u200bgreenery, playing the sun with various colors and shades; And the oval crown of beecles create the illusion of stopped waves. Only Mount Basman with her nude vertex seems single island In this endless green chain.
The largest tributaries of Kachi, flowing into it mainly in the upper course, are March, Dong, Kaspan, style. Flips in the Black Sea. Like Alma, it is regulated.
There are several irrigation systems on the basis of reservoirs in Crimea, of which the largest Salgirskaya, Almian and Taganskaya. The lack of water for irrigation purposes compensates for the North Crimean Channel. His waters are irrigated now more than 200 thousand hectares of land.
River Southern Shore Crimea smallwaves. This is Derekoyka, Avice, Ul-Uzny, Pirob-Su. But they are important In the water supply of resort cities and villages.
Crimea is rich in salted lakes. They are located in its plain part along the sea coast. In most cases, these are small lakes (to a meter of depth) that dried in summer. Based on the location, they are usually united in five groups: Evpatoria, Tarkhankut, Perekop, Chongaro-Arabat and Kerch.
The Evpatoria group includes the largest lake of the Sasiek-Sivash Peninsula, as well as Sakskoe, Moisak. Total 14 lakes.
Sasiek-Sivash Lake is located between Sakas and Evpatoria, its area of \u200b\u200b7100 hectares. It was formed from the sea bay and is now separated from the sea by a narrow patch. It produces a mustache salt, and the brines serve as raw materials for the Saksky Chemicals supply upon receipt of bromine and magnesium chloride.
The Sakskoe lake (area of \u200b\u200b1085 hectares) is known for its healing mud, on the use of which is based on a well-known Saki resort in the country.
From the lakes of the Tarkhankut group the largest Donuzlav. It extended 27 km from the sea deep into the mainland and arose as a result of flooding by the sea of \u200b\u200bthe escape sections of the beams.
Perekopskaya group of salted lakes is stretched by a chain along the sea coast. Complete insulation of them from the sea led not only to the reduced salinity of Rapa, but also influenced its chemical composition. In the lakes of the Perekop Group there is no sulfate magnesium, which is so characteristic of the Evpatoria group of lakes, but there is calcium chloride. The largest lake of this group is old, or Tuzla. It is located south of perk, area of \u200b\u200b1145 hectares. From here comes with raw materials for Perekop Bromzavod.
The Chongaro Arabat Group includes lakes located on the Arabat Arrow. The largest lake here is a genic (about 1000 hectares, which is located in the northern part of the Arabat arrow and administratively applies to the Kherson region).
Kerch group make up pretty large lakesadjacent to sea coasts. In particular, to Azov Sea. Lake Aktashskoe, Chokrakskoye, and to Black - Tobychskoe, Uzunlar. The area of \u200b\u200bthese lakes ranges from 2 to 4 hectares.
Climate Crimean Peninsula Pretty dry, in particular in its northern and central regions. Therefore, the problem of water supply of settlements and agro-industrial farms is especially acute here. In this article we describe the reservoir of the Crimea in detail. How many of them are all? When they were formed and what functions perform today? How big is their recreational and tourist potential? Let's try to answer all these questions.
Crimea reservoirs: general information and list
To date, there are 23 large reservoirs of artificial origin on the peninsula. 15 of them - natural flow, and 8 more - these are bulk reservoirs, fed by the North-Crimean Canal. Their total area is almost 42 km 2. This is only 0.15% of the total territory of the Crimean Peninsula.
In all reservoirs, the Crimea contains about 400 million m 3 of fresh water. This huge resource is distributed and is used as follows:
- 70% - agriculture;
- 20% - water supply of settlements (including housing and utilities services);
- 8% - water supply industry;
- 2% - fisheries and recreation.
The largest reservoirs of the Crimean Territory (in terms of water) include:
- Chernorechenskoye (64.2 million m 3).
- Multiple (50.0 million m 3).
- Simferopolskoe (36.0 million m 3).
- Front-line (35.0 million m 3).
- Partizanskoe (34.4 million m 3).
- Zagorskaya (27.8 million m 3).
- Kerch (24.0 million m 3).
- Belogorsk (23.3 million m 3).
- Theodosie (15.4 million m 3).
- Izobinenskoe (13.3 million m 3).
The location of all these reservoirs on the map of the peninsula you can see below.
Fishing on the reservoirs of the Crimea
Reservoirs on the peninsula not only supply all settlements, industrial enterprises and agricultural land, but also perform other important functions. For example, recreational and tourist. So, the reservoir of the Crimea attract numerous fans of freshwater fishing. This type of holiday in our time is very in demand and popular.
In fresh reservoirs of the Crimean Peninsula there are many species of fish: pike perch, carp, crucian, roach, perch, bream and others. If you're lucky, you can extend a pike from the water thickness. According to the reviews of fishermen, in the Crimea, the most favorable for the fishing of the coast of the Blacks and Anyansky reservoir is most favorable for the fishing. Best time For fishing - early morning and evening. However, there are several restrictions on which both beginners and experienced fishermen should be remembered. So, for example, on all reservoirs of the peninsula is prohibited fishing From April 1 to May 31. In addition, it is impossible to catch the fish in the assistive areas of the rivers (including the 500-meter shore lane in both sides of the mouth).
Many fishermen consider the best place For freshwater fishing in Crimea, the partisan reservoir. In this reservoir, the chub, bream, carp, perch, taran, pike perch, lake salmon and even trout are perfectly caught in this reservoir. In general, the Crimea is a real paradise for fishermen and ecotourists. Here everyone will be able to find a cozy place with rich ichthyofauna and picturesque natural landscapes.
And now briefly describe the main Crimean reservoirs and records.
Chernorechenskoye - the most fulfillment
The largest volume in the Crimea is considered to be contained in excess of 64 million m 3. It was created in the mid-50s of the last century on the Black River. Initially, the reservoir was used to irrigate nearby lands. Today, up to 80% of its reserves is spent on the domestic needs of the city of Sevastopol.
The Chernorechensk reservoir has an unusual curved shape. On the east side, a narrow and wooded cape deeply, almost 2 km long.
Front-line - the biggest
The largest reservoir in the area in Crimea is front-line (6.45 km 2). It is located in the eastern part of the peninsula, near the village with the same name. The main power source is the North-Crimean Canal. The reservoir is used mainly for the water supply of theeodosia and resorts adjacent to it.
This name reservoir did not accidentally. The fact is that in the years there were fierce battles. Reminds those events The original monument, folded from the fragments of mines and shells. The reservoir itself was filled relatively recently, only in 1978.
In recent years, the front-line reservoir merge. So, in 2017, the volume of water in it decreased by almost ten times (compared with 2014).
Izobinensky - the most picturesque and deepest
The isobinnen reservoir is phenomenally beautiful. Yes, and the deepest in the Crimea! The maximum depth is 70 m. The reservoir was built in 1979 at the fusion site of two mountain rivers - Safun-Nezen and Uzen-Bash. It is located on western outskirts The pulled over, borrowing its name from him. The main purpose of the reservoir - provision freshwater Alushta and nearby agricultural land.
Ayansky - the oldest
The district reservoir was filled back in 1928. It is in the foothill zone, near the village of Transfer. It is used for the water supply of the city of Simferopol (water from it on a 18-kilometer underground water industry enters the sewage facilities of the Crimean Capital). Along this route, small trafficking booths were built in an exotic Mauritan style. Two of them are preserved to our time.
Ayang reservoir in Crimea is completely tiny (only 0.4 km 2), but deep enough. The maximum depth of the reservoir reaches a mark of 25 m. During World War II, the German command planned to blow up the reservoir dam. Fortunately, these plans were violated by a partisan detachment under the command of Kozin, and the Ayanskoye reservoir continued its existence.

Crimea has more than 250 rivers. IN modern world, living in megalopolis, people see gray concrete walls, rapidly rachied cars, thousands of faceless figures, exhaust clubs. The work takes the maximum time, holding in tension. It is such diagnoses that easily overcomes active, and better extreme rest. One of these is the rafting of rivers.
River Auzun-Uzen, CrimeaThe mountain Crimea with its rivers, thresholds and waterfalls is genuine interest for rafting lovers. The most popular are the three rivers - Auzun-Uzny, Cokokozka and Black. The first two rivers according to the well-known international scale have a third category of complexity, there are thresholds, dilutions, logs. Recommended for the prepared guys, the participation of newcomers is also possible. Rivers attract the unusual beauty of nature, silver waterfalls, amazing color of water and unforgettable impressions. During alloys here, you can go to the river Vyod in any practical place. The alloy time for each river takes 5-6 hours.
River Kokokozka, P. Sokolina, Crimea The Black River is rightfully considered one of the full rivers of the Crimea. The category of complexity on the above scale is defined as the fourth. Stone outlets are accumulated by two cascades, a clear separation between the thresholds is not observed, the riverbed is a solid step cascade. It is strictly recommended to take part in the alloys of beginner kayakers, without the appropriate skills. Picturesque shores, rapid dizzying plums and waterfalls will make no time for the camera. By the way, all three alloys are located on environmental territories - the Bolshoi and Cornorechensky canyons. The alloy time on the Black River along with shooting will be 8-9 hours. If necessary, you can finish the alloy for 1-2 hours earlier. I also advise you to visit, this is a freshwater river, its length is 63 kilometers.
Kokokozka River 
River Black Crimea
It is possible to make an alloy for the rivers Auzoun-Uzny, Cokokozka and black can be in one hike in 3-4 days. On the alloy for each river allocate one day. Transitions between the plots are small.
The team should consist of 4-6 kayaks for high-quality insurance. With more time alloy will increase due to narrow passes.
The alloy is possible on short kayaks from polyethylene due to numerous protrusions and thresholds.
It is strictly prohibited to neglect the safety rules. The instructor before each alloy should remind the safety technique to all participants. It is also necessary to warn the Ministry of Emergency Situations on their campaign: the route, the period of stay and the approximate end of the event. Very by the way, that on all parking there is a good mobile signal.
Tourists should not forget about the need to provide first aid. Therefore, the arsenal must necessarily have a first-aid kit.
Rafting on the rivers of the Crimea provides an excellent opportunity to feel adrenaline and enjoy the surrounding beauty.
Crimean water is mainly located in the sea. The rivers of the Peninsula are small, and the Lakes of the Crimea are often located near the coast, while they are often with an increased degree of salinity. But among them there are invaluable from a medical point of view, unusual by origin and just beautiful.
Limana Crimea - Sea Pieces
Most lakes in Tavrid focused on the shores of the sea. As a rule, they are selfless and salty, belong to the liman type. This term means that the reservoir arose as a result of the cutting of a small bay of the fermenter from the sea.
These are not communicating with the world's ocean at all or have a narrow connecting channel. Water in them is usually very "maritime". There are estones formed by naturally, but often their appearance and a person put a hand, building dams for travel or protection against waves. The carriers separating them are more often small.
Salted Lakes Crimea are important medical centers. Mineral dirt helps to get rid of skin and gynecological diseases, treat problems with the musculoskeletal system. Healing Il mined on an industrial scale for deliveries to the hospital and.
The most well-known useful properties of the content of the bottom of the Tobica, Chokrak, Moinaki, Saksky. Sometimes tourists are trying to use mud on their own, although it requires certain caution - doctors such amateurness are considered dangerous. Madness implies accurate observance of time, there is a lot of contraindications to it.
Known in Crimea and Donuzlav, the former territory of the secret military facility. And the Koyysk Lake inhabited algae, in the heat we have a reddish tint. Consequently, in the summer it attracts the resorts brightly pink color.
Fresh reservoirs Plains - Sources of coolness
Fresh lakes in Crimea far less. Some of them are extensions of the river beds and streams. So, the raven near Sudak was formed by the river in the same name, and Yusupovskoe - Sarah-Uzen. Some have artificial nature - Formed as a result of flooding of construction kittlers or a mone in the water of the springs. These are Mangup or Ai-Efim, which is not far from. Due to the essential influx of spring water, many freshwater lakes Stay cold even in summer heat.
Some of them are located in intermountion gorges, the other is at a considerable height. Once on Yaylas, attempts were made to create man-made lakes - they called Goli. 
But not all natural pitched, and from somewhere, giving moisture was then left at all, leaving empty funnels.
The beautiful Crimean Lakes is a little less popular with holidaymakers than the sea. But pleasure is not always cheap. Sometimes a visit paid by itself, for example, Castel, Vasilyevsky, turquoise. It is often necessary to pay not to rest, but additional opportunities - a place for a tent, the use of firewood, rent a boat.
It is necessary to pay for, to be discharged or for the right of fishing as a whole, or for the ability to catch fish more installed minimum. The origin of the requirements of understandable - the lakes were burned with people, the density of the scaly population has to support the efforts of specialists. But you can boot and sunbathe on the shores of most water bodies without additional expenses. Especially for swimming is suitable for the Martian lake, which is near Bakhchisaraya.
Lakes among the mountain cliffs
Mountain lakes in Crimea are more often located in the mountains, but in the foothills. Often they are found in the tracts between the ridges and in the river valleys. 
Almost all the artificial arms spread out, but such as Castel, Raven or Panagia also have a height of several hundred meters. Perfectly and emerald lake near (near the cliff Shaan-Kaya).
They are usually quite cold, feed on mountain rivers, and those, in turn - with thawed snow, rains and underground sources. Therefore, it is necessary to bathe with caution - only the surface layer is warm.
But the lake in the mountains is amazing picturesque. Photos from their shores are regularly used by tourists for boasting by the trip, and advertising specialists - on professional purposes. Many are laid standard tourist routes. Among them are paid and free, and this indicator is inconsistent.
Taurida record holders and unusual places
Nothing able to compare in scale with the lake Victoria or Caspian in the Crimea is not. But there are some recordsmen. The deepest is Donuzlav - up to 27 m, there may be large sea steamboats there. And the largest square of Sasyk-Sivas - 75.3 square meters. km, it is called a deposit of valuable healing mud.
It should be borne in mind that the data is given maximum. In the summer heat, the mass of lake attractions of the Crimea strongly merge and decreases in size, and some dry out at all.
Unusual and truly unique Crimea are underground lakes. They are, for example, in caves or, formed in karst cavities with sources and robes, beating / running under the ground. Their visit requires some training and is undesirable alone.
