Veselovsky Reservoir (aka Veselovskoye Reservoir) is a reservoir on the western Manych River in Rostov-on-Don, Rostov Oblast. Combined with the Proletarsky Reservoir directly upstream, the pair is also referred to as the Manychysky Reservoirs, built between 1932 and 1936 to provide longstanding river flow.[1] The Veselovsky Reservoir is currently used for irrigation, fisheries, water traffic and power generation.
