Angiriai Reservoir
The Angiriai Reservoir is an artificial lake in Kėdainiai District Municipality, central Lithuania. It is located 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north-west from Josvainiai town. It was created in 1980, when a dam on the Šušvė river had been built next to Angiriai village. In 2000, the dam was reconstructed and a small hydroelectric plant has been built.[2]
