Chogray Reservoir (Russian: Чограйское водохранилище, Chograyskoye vodokhranilishche) is an artificial reservoir on the East Manych River on the border of Stavropol Krai and Kalmykia in southern Russia.
The reservoir, 49 km long, was constructed in 1969-1973, primarily to satisfy the demands of local irrigated farming. Its area is 185 square km, volume 0.7 cubic km.[1] Besides capturing water naturally brought by the tributaries of the East Manych River, the reservoir receives water from the Terek River and the Kuma River over the Kuma-Manych Canal, which was completed a few years before the reservoir.
