Shapsug Reservoir
The Shapsug Reservoir, also known as the Shapsugskoye Reservoir is a deactivated reservoir in Takhtamukaysky District of the Republic of Adygea, Russia, located 3 kilometers southwest of Krasnodar. It was built between 1940 and 1952 on the left bank of the Kuban River valley, at the mouth of the Afips River as a part of rice irrigation system and was important to the economy of Krasnodar Krai of Russia. It was named after the Shapsugs—a tribe which has inhabited the area for thousands of years—and is considered a part of historical Shapsugia, which was a part of historical Circassia.
