Badovc Lake is an artificial reservoir on the river Gračanka two kilometers above Gračanica, built in 1963–1966 in order to supply city of Pristina with water. The dam height of 52 m, a width of 246 m, was built in Badovc ravine below Gollak mountains, near the mine "Rainwater".[citation needed]
When it is full, the lake is 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) long and up to 500 metres (1,600 ft) wide, maximum depth is 30 m, 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]
