Dnieper Reservoir
The Dnieper Reservoir (, ) is a water reservoir on the Dnieper river in Ukraine that was created by construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station at Zaporizhzhia in 1932.

It averages 3.2 km wide, and is 7 km at its widest. It is an average 8 meters deep and 53 meters at its deepest. The total water volume is 3.3 km³. The Samara Bay, stretching for approximately ten kilometers at the mouth of the Samara River, flows into the northern end of the reservoir.
