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.[citation needed]
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).[1] In February 2014, water levels were threatened, due to a very dry winter.[2]
