Lower Kama Reservoir or Nizhnekamsk Reservoir (Russian: Нижнекамское водоранилище, Tatar: Cyrillic Түбән Кама сусаклагычы, Latin Tübän Kama susaqlağıçı) is the lowest reservoir from the Kama River hydroelectric cascade. It is situated in Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Bashkortostan and Perm Krai, Russian Federation. The reservoir was filled in 1978-81 up to 62 m above sea level after the construction of dam of the Lower Kama Hydroelectric Station. The water level in reservoir depends on the upper reservoirs regime (Kama Reservoir and Votkinsk Reservoir). The Lower Kama Reservoir has a surface area of 1,084 km² and a volume of 2.8 billion cubic meters. Its length along Kama is 185 km and 157 km along Belaya. The reservoir also used for water supply, irrigation and fishing.[1]
The planned level of the reservoir is 68 m above sea level. Tatarstan government announced plans to reach the full planned power of the electric station.[2] However, ecological movement inside of Tatarstan opposes these plans, as the reservoir will flood Kulyagash wetland and other lands in that case.[3]
