| Location | |
The Nové Mlýny reservoirs (Czech: Vodní dílo Nové Mlýny) are three reservoirs behind the Nové Mlýny Dam on the Thaya River in the Czech Republic.[1][2] The lower reservoir, 1,668 ha (4,120 acres) in area, is the Novomlýnská (or Nové Mlýny) reservoir, the middle reservoir, 1,031 ha (2,550 acres), is the Věstonice Reservoir and the upper reservoir, 528 ha (1,300 acres), is the Mušovská (or Mušov) Reservoir.
Construction
Built between 1978 and 1988, the three separate reservoirs were built to help lessen the severity of seasonal flooding and to boost agricultural production.[3] The reservoirs are part of the Pálava Protected Landscape Area.[4]
