Rusa reservoir is an ancient reservoir located in current eastern Armenia. It was constructed by King Menua to meet the water demand when he moved the Kingdom of Urartu from Tushpa to the Rusa city in 700 B.C. An artificial lake was created by constructing two dams to collect water from Alaini river. The inscriptions by King Rusa were found near the reservoir to estimate the age of the reservoir. The reservoir is still under partial operation. The southern dam is 5 m high, 27 m thick and 55 m long and is constructed with rocks and earthen core.
