Pure pumped-storage plants just shift the water between reservoirs, while the " pump-back " approach is a combination of pumped storage and conventional hydroelectric plants that use natural stream-flow.

Hundreds of smaller hydroelectric power plants and associated reservoirs were also constructed on the rivers.

There is no HPP ( hydroelectric power plant ) installed at the dam but rather the water is taken to the Teshel HPP and then further down the Devin HPP and the Vacha River with its HPPs, dams and reservoirs ( Tsankov Kamak HPP, Vacha Reservoir, Krichim Reservoir, Vacha II HPP, Krichim HPP and Vacha I HPP ).

Aside from improving Soviet-Ukrainian water transport, the reservoirs became the site for new power stations, and hydroelectric energy flourished in Ukraine because of it.

In addition to water storage and regulation, the system has a hydroelectric capacity of over 2, 000 megawatts, provides recreation, and promotes flood control with its twenty dams and reservoirs.

Like all pumped-storage hydroelectric schemes, it makes use of two water reservoirs connected by a pressure tunnel: in this case an artificial reservoir near the summit of the mountain and the naturally occurring corrie lake, Lough Nahanagan, at the foot of the mountain.

The reservoirs produce hydroelectric power and supply water for the surrounding areas for both municipal and irrigation use.

The reservoirs provide flood control and hydroelectric power.
