Overview
Sarsang Reservoir was built on Tartar River in 1976.[4] The area of the reservoir is 14.2 km2 (5.5 sq mi).[2] The overall volume of the reservoir is 575 million m3.[5] The height of the dam at the reservoir is 125 m (410 ft). The reservoir has the tallest dam out of all dams in Azerbaijan. Since opening, the reservoir has provided irrigation water for 100,000 ha (250,000 acres) of agricultural lands in Tartar, Agdam, Barda, Goranboy, Yevlakh and Aghjabadi raions of Azerbaijan.[6]
Sarsang Hydro Power Plant with capacity of 50 megawatt is based on the reservoir and operated by Artsakh HEK OJSC.[7] It is the main source of electric energy for Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (40-60%).[8]
With its beautiful surrounding nature, Sarsang reservoir is expected to be one of the major tourism centers of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the long run.[1][9]
