For the content of the congestion there are two figures 9.4 and 15 billion cubic meters. The reservoir is 365 km long and up to 9 km wide. The average water depth is 8.4 m (calculated from the information given first for storage volume and area). The Saigatka also flows into the reservoir.
On the bank of the reservoir are the places Perm , Krasnokamsk , Nytva , Okhansk and Ossa , among others .
The barrier structure is a gravity dam combined with an earth embankment dam . Its greatest height is 44 m, the total length 4982 m.
