Until now, Prishtina's main sources of drinking water have been the Batlava and Badovc reservoirs. However, both of these reservoirs are now being used at maximum capacity and their water levels have already sunk. This, combined with insufficient supply infrastructure and technical water loss, will lead to water shortages in the near future.
