Reservoir of Elektrenai

Elektrėnai Reservoir, located south of the city of Elektrėnai, Lithuania, is the third-biggest artificial lake in Lithuania. It was created in 1961 by damming the Strėva River. It supplies cooling water to the 1,800 MW Elektrėnai Power Plant. A number of villages were drowned by the reservoir; over 140 of them were relocated. The reservoir also covered eight other lakes.
