Bughdasheni Lake (Georgian: ბუღდაშენის ტბა) is a volcanic lake[1] in the Ninotsminda Municipality, Samtskhe–Javakheti region of Georgia.[2] located in Javakheti Plateau, at 2040 m above sea level.[1] The area of surface is 0.39 km2, while the catchment area is 69.3 km2. Average depth is 0.42 m, maximal depth is 0.85 m.[1] Gets its feed from snow, rainfall and underground waters. High water levels at spring, low at autumn. Much of the southern part of this area consists of wetlands.[3] The river Bughdasheni (left-bank tributary of the Paravani) flows out of the lake. The lake is rich in fish, including trout.[4] The area around the lake is home for part of the year to many species of migratory birds and the shore largely pristine and undisturbed.[5] Bughdasheni Lake is the part of Bugdasheni Managed Reserve. Since 2020 it has been designated as a Ramsar site.[6]
