The Badovci Dam, completed in 1963 near Pristina, supplies drinking water to the capital and nearby municipalities. It creates Badovci Lake, holding about 26 million m³. As one of the main reservoirs for urban use, it plays a key role in flood control and water security. Managed by KRU Prishtina, it faces challenges from nearby urban development and seasonal drought, prompting enhanced monitoring and protection of its catchment area.
