The Radoniq Lake or Radonjić Lake ( Albanian Liqeni i Radoniqit , Serbian Радоњићко језеро Radonjićko jezero ) is a reservoir in western Kosovo , about eleven kilometers from the city of Gjakova . The lake was dammed for the first time in March 1983. It got its name from the village that was flooded by the creation of the reservoir.
The lake plays a major role in the drinking water supply of the municipality of Gjakova (with 44 villages), the municipality of Rahovec (with eight villages) and the municipality of Prizren (with 20 villages): it supplies around 214,000 people. With an area of 5.62 square kilometers and a volume of 113 million cubic meters, it is the second largest lake in Kosovo.
In 2005, 200 people worked in the HS Radoniqi waterworks , in 1985 only 35.
