The Zeid Reservoir in Turkmenistan
iss073e0423962 (Aug. 7, 2025) --- The Zeid Reservoir in Turkmenistan is pictured from the International Space Station as it orbited 260 miles above Central Asia. The reservoir was designed to capture some of the sand and sediment flowing in from the nearby Amu Darya River and the Karakum Canal. This helps keep the water cleaner and protects the canal system from getting clogged.
