About the place
The reservoir was created by the Andijan dam on the Kara Darya, a project approved in 1963 to bring water to the farmland of the Fergana Valley; it also feeds two hydropower stations. At full level it covers about 56 square kilometres and holds around 1.9 cubic kilometres of water.
It sits in the Kampirravot gorge on the border with Kyrgyzstan, where it is called Kempir-Abad; after years of dispute, the two countries agreed on the border here in 2022. The village of Kampirravot, part of the town of Khonobod, lies on the river nearby.
