Master Data
The reservoir was formed in 1937 through the construction of the Akulovsky hydroelectric complex on the Ucha River, also limited by the Pestovskaya and Pyalovsky dams [2] .
Useful volume - 50 million m³, total - 146 million m³, area - 19.3 km².
Width up to 3 km, length about 12 km, depth up to 21.5 m (average - 7.5 m). Seasonal flow regulation, level fluctuations up to 2 meters.
It freezes at the end of November, opens in mid-April.
Value
Located away from the main shipping lane, no ship passes.
It is used for water supply in Moscow , for preliminary water purification from organic pollution and suspended solids [2] . From here, water is pumped through the water channel to the Eastern Water Station , and to the Northern Water Treatment Station .
Uchinskoe reservoir is a strict water protection zone. Unlike other reservoirs in the Moscow Canal system, there are no camp sites and rest houses on its banks, and shipping is not carried out. Officially, the reservoir is a restricted area, it is forbidden to approach it closer than 200 meters [3] , the reservoir (coast and water area) is patrolled around the clock by armed guards (police), which is associated with the need to ensure the quality of the water supplied to the Moscow water supply system [4] [5] .
The water reserve is used for associated generation of electricity at Listvyanskaya and Akulovskaya hydroelectric power stations , as well as to regulate the level and pollution of the Uchi and Klyazma rivers.
