A key workshop was held in Prishtina to discuss the Kike-Kremenata Reservoir project, focusing on Phase 1: Site Investigations and Basic Design.
The workshop was inaugurated by the Minister of Environment, Spatial Planning, and Infrastructure, Liburn Aliu, who stated that this multidimensional investment aims not only to ensure a sustainable water supply but also to better manage natural resources, protect against floods, and potentially utilize hydroenergy.
“This investment will enable the preservation and more efficient management of water resources, helping to stabilize the water supply for residents and the local economy,” emphasized Minister Aliu.
During the workshop, the design company Studio Pietrangeli provided a detailed presentation on the design and functionality of the reservoir, covering key aspects such as:
The session provided an in-depth presentation by Studio Pietrangeli, the projecting company, of the reservoir’s design and operational framework, covering the following critical aspects:
🔹 General Layout – Overview of the reservoir’s structure and spatial organization.
🔹 Reservoir Uses and Operating Rules – Defining water management and usage regulations.
🔹 Dam Design & Stability – Ensuring structural integrity and long-term functionality.
🔹 Spillway & Intake Design – Planning efficient water flow and distribution mechanisms.
🔹 Bottom Outlet & Instrumentation – Controlling water release and monitoring system performance.
🔹 Preliminary BoQ and Cost Estimate – Initial assessment of resources and financial planning.
🔹 Construction Schedule – Outlining the timeline and key milestones.
🔹 Geotechnical Report & Investigation Plan for Phase 2 – Evaluating site conditions and planning future studies.
The workshop concluded with an interactive discussion, where participants engaged in a constructive exchange of questions and feedback. Their insights will contribute to refining the project’s approach, ensuring an efficient and sustainable reservoir system.
This initiative represents a significant step toward enhancing water resource management of Kosovo.
