Liqeni i Thanës, also called the Murriz reservoir, is an irrigation lake near Kuçovë in central Albania, about 4 km long and over 2.5 km wide, part of the Thana and Murriz irrigation scheme.
How it formed
It was built between 1959 and 1962. A canal of about 2 km brings water from a barrage near the village of Vlashuk, and the lake irrigates farmland around Lushnjë to the north-west.
