English: The Kyiv (or Kiev) Reservoir lies along the Dnieper River, some 16 kilometres north of the Ukrainian capital. The reservoir’s surface is a combination of ice-covered and ice-free areas, the largest open-water area occurring just a few kilometres north of the reservoir’s southern tip. Around the reservoir lies a combination of grassy, forested, agricultural, and urbanized lands. Roads and corridors of greenery line the eastern side of the reservoir, and residential areas hug the shore on the western side. The natural landscape in this region is generally marshy and well watered. Although snow has mostly melted, much of the vegetation remains brown in this early springtime image.
