The Kardzhali Reservoir is located near Kardzhali town in Kardzhali Province, Bulgaria.

The reservoir was recently seeded artificially with European perch. The fish was taken from the Ovcharitsa reservoir.

The first historical moment of the reservoir was in the 1970s, when it was artificially seeded with sheatfish. Nowadays there are 100 kg representatives. Later, 45,000 carp were introduced into the reservoir as well.

The Arda River feeds into the Kardzhali Reservoir.
