The bottom of the reservoir is clayey with a small admixture of sand, uneven, with sharp drops. The banks on almost all sides of the lake are steep, covered with trees and bushes to the very edge of the water, and in the rain they are also very slippery. During the spring and autumn floods, the coastal forest belt is partially flooded.
