Paljuvi Reservoir

44.42551 , 20.14933

Serbia

Paljuvi is a shallow, 150 ha large reservoir made by damming the stream of Kladnica in 1970s and lies southwest of Belgrade, halfway between the towns of Lazarevac and Ub. Basically, the dam wall and the western side are those truly productive areas (the far southwest where the river enters the lake creating a marshy habitat is underbirded and worthy of more time).
