The Batllava Lake ( Albanian Liqeni i Batllavës , Serbian Батлавско језеро Batlavsko jezero ) is an important reservoir in the municipality of Podujeva , Kosovo . It is mainly fed by the small Batllava river, which flows into the Lab a few kilometers below the dam . The name Batllava comes from the nearby village of Batllava .
The lake plays a major role in the supply of drinking water to the Kosovar capital Pristina and the municipality of Podujeva. However, due to the population growth in the two cities, the lake can hardly meet the demand in dry years.
In addition, Lake Batllava is also used as a recreational area, especially for camping and water sports. The Batllava airfield is also nearby .
