The Fierza Reservoir (Albanian: Liqeni i Fierzës) is a reservoir in Albania and Kosovo.[a] The Drin River and parts of the White Drin and Black Drin also runs through the reservoir. The size of the lake is 73 km², of which 2.46 km² belong to Kosovo. It is 70 km long and has a depth of 128 m. In the Albanian side of the lake there are many canyons and some small islands.
