Lake Abkhazia, Gagra district

Lake Lake

Inkiti is a relict lake on the Bichvinta (Pitsunda) cape, in Abkhazia, Gagra municipality, 1 m above sea level. Surface area 0.4 km², greatest depth 3.2 m, volume 810 thousand m³. A stream once flowed out of the lake and its water was fresh. Now, because of the artificial lowering of the lake's level, seawater has begun to seep in and salinity has risen to 5 g/l. Inkiti holds 10 species of fish; fishing is occasional.
