Svrčin lake

[1] A channel was dug to connect with Nerodimka, where it turnt south, and Lepenac, with one of the sources of Sitnica - river Sazlija.

That way part of Nerodimka was redirected to the north, creating an artificial bifurcation and watercourse of semicircular shape stretching from present day Uroševac to the source of Sitnica.

[1] From the west two more rivers were connected, Štimljanka and Košarka, around which was swamp that reached Nerodimka in the south, thus creating a ring of water which became the Svrčin lake.

It contained an island in its center, on which present-day villages Laškobara, Prelaz, Papaz, Hamidija, Babuš and Svrčina were situated.

[1] By digging of the canal, the Svrčin castle was protected by moat filled with water, that denied easy access to royal residence.
