Korçë Plain

[1] The basin is a major N-S trending – still active - graben structure of the Dinarides located at the border of Northern Macedonia and S-E Albania.

The plain is surrounded by highlands reaching altitudes of 2000 m.[3] The basin is drained by two rivers, Devoll and Dunavec.

Devoll river crosses the northern area of the plain flowing from east to west, passing through the Maliq marshes.

Dunavec River crosses the basin in south-north direction joining the Devoll near the town of Maliq.

[4] The plain is agriculturally important enabling the cultivation of summer crops such as sugarbeets, potatoes, maize and fruit trees using irrigation resources.
