One of the largest lakes in Crimea, Aktash, is located on the Kerch peninsula. This salt lake is not used now, although in the 80s it was planned to be used as a cooling pond for a nuclear power plant under construction. A dam was even built on the lake to raise the water level. But the nuclear power plant did not work, and the flood in 1989 demolished the dam, and the water of the lake flooded the nearby villages.
