Badoc Lake

Badovc Lake is an artificial reservoir on the river Gračanka, two kilometers above Gračanica, built between 1963 and 1966 to supply the city of Pristina with water. The dam, with a height of 52 m and a width of 246 m, was built in Badovc ravine below Gollak mountains, near the "Rainwater" mine. When

full, the lake is 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) long and up to 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide, with a maximum depth of 30 m and a total volume of 26 million cubic meters of water. The lake has a catchment area of 109 km2 (42 sq mi). In February 2014, water levels were threatened, due to a very dry winter.
