Thana Reservoir

Thana or Murriz Reservoir (Albanian: Ujëmbledhës i Thanës) in central Albania is the largest reservoir in Albania.

The reservoir is supplied to the lake via a 2Km (1.2 miles) canal from a barrage near the village of Vlashuk.

The reservoir was created between 1959 and 1962. It is approximately 4Km (2.5 miles) long and over 2.5Km (1.5 miles) wide. It has a surface area of roughly 8.1 square kilometres and can store between 60 to 65 million cubic meters of water.

The reservoir is used to irrigate agricultural land around the city of Lushnja, which lies to the north-west.
