Švihov Reservoir, Major water reservoir in Zruč nad Sázavou, Czech Republic.
The Želivka Reservoir spans across 16 square kilometers in the Vysočina and Central Bohemian regions, with a depth reaching 55 meters.
The construction started in 1965 and required the demolition of 900 buildings, including the complete villages of Dolní Kralovice and Horní Kralovice.
The Vodní dům visitor center in Hulice presents exhibitions about water treatment through educational displays for children and adults.
The reservoir functions as the primary drinking water source for Prague, delivering water through the Želivka Water Tunnel system.
This facility stands as the largest drinking water reservoir in Central Europe, with strict regulations prohibiting swimming and fishing to maintain water quality.
