geography
It is a hilly landscape with an area of 20,900 km² (which roughly corresponds to the area of Hesse ), which is mainly used for agriculture (including wheat, corn and sunflower fields).

The capital Cherkassy is located on this reservoir . It is the administrative, economic and cultural center of the oblast.
