Association

Located 4.18km southeast (bearing 116°) of Mets Mantash village, this isolated reservoir does not have a clear association with any canals (although Ma Canals 14 and 11 head in its general direction) (map quadrant B1l).

Topography

The reservoir was constructed on a gentle slope, just above a series of agricultural fields that mark the termination of Mt. Aragats and the beginning of Tsaghkahovit Plain cultivation.

General Description

Surrounded by agricultural fields, this reservoir includes a stone damn of a natural feeder channel at its northern end. Moderately steep slopes border the reservoir to the west and east.

Features & Materials

No surface materials. Although the dam and reservoir remain in use today, the use of stone rather than concrete suggests its construction likely predates the Soviet period.
