Here in Struga, (Macedonia) starts "The Black Drin" river from "Ohrid" lake, that makes the town beautiful and here it is wide, crystal clear and deep... but it does great damage when the level of the water rises. "The Black Drin" is very deep at the point where it flows out of the lake Ohrid, and it is shallow on its way out of the town where it branches. Since its water is very rapid and powerful it even turns several water-mills in the very town. It is long 163 km and enter in Albania to join the "Drin" river (285 km) which flows in Adriatic Sea.

Georg - You can see the strength of the water going through the opening in the dam. Thad
