The total capacity of the Sarsang reservoir on the Tartarchay
river, one of the deepest rivers in Azerbaijan, is 560 million
cubic meters.
The reservoir, being the largest one in the Karabakh region

Aghdam, Barda, Goranboy, Yevlakh, and Aghjabadi. The Sarsang Hydro
Power Plant built on the reservoir's dam has a total capacity of 50
megawatts.
By the instruction of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, big
work is being conducted in all the liberated territories to more
effectively use existing and create new water resources, and
restore destroyed infrastructure facilities.
