Lake Čepić
Lake Čepić ( hr, Čepićko jezero, Raško, Kožljansko, Sisolsko, it, Lago d'Arsa) was the only natural lake in Istria, Croatia. It was drained in 1932 with a 4,250 m long tunnel near Plomin to the sea.

The field's area is around 7 km2 (elevation 24 m), and the Boljunčica River flows into it, while from it Raša (river), Raša River.

Lakes Of Croatia
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, surrounded by land, and distinct from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, although, like the much larger oceans, they do form part of the Earth's water cycle. Lakes are distinct from lagoons, which are generally coastal parts of the ocean. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which also lie on land, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which usually flow in a channel on land. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams. Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers, where a river channel has widened into a basin. Some parts of the world have many lakes formed by the chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last ice ...
