and water hydrochemistry. This attempt was strongly prompt by both the importance of this lake for water supply of Prishtina city
and the lack of water. According to lake water balance, a water loss of 3,738,905 m³ and 1,722,552 m³ for the hydrologic year 2014
and the period January-May (2015) was evaluated. These consistent data favour the opinion that a continuous groundwater outflow
from the lake is present and it is conditioned by the intensively developed fracture system in the lake basement formations. This
was also supported by the chemical data (chloride, sulphate, hardness and electric conductivity etc.) of the water. Water from the
leakages on the right side of the dam shows the same chemical signature as the water from the lake. Whereas, water from the
piezometer, monitoring well and the gallery of Hajvalia mine show similar values with those of the water from the lake. The
calculations of the chloride mass balance showed that the fractions of lake and rainfall waters in the water mixture of Hajvalia mine
were 67% and 33% respectively.
