Fierza Reservoir

The Fierza Reservoir (Albanian: Liqeni i Fierzës) is a reservoir in Albania and Kosovo. The Drin River and parts of the White Drin and Black Drin also run through the reservoir. The size of the lake is 72.6 km2 (28.0 sq mi), of which 2.46 km2 (0.95 sq mi) belong to Kosovo. It is 70 km (43 mi) long and has a depth of 128 m (420 ft). On the Albanian side of the lake there are many canyons and some small islands. The dam is 167 m (548 ft) tall. In 2014, the lake was declared a Regional Nature Park by the Kukës County Council.

The reservoir was formed as a result of the construction of the Fierza Hydroelectric Power Station in 1978 by the Albanian government.
