This paper aims to quantitatively assess water losses of Badovc Lake-Kosovo based on both water balance of the lake and water hydrochemistry. This attempt was strongly prompt by both the importance of this lake for water supply of Prishtina city and the lack of water. According to lake water balance, a water loss of 3,738,905 m3 and 1,722,552 m3 for the hydrologic year 2014 and the period January-May (2015) was evaluated. These consistent data favour the opinion that a continuous groundwater outflow from the lake is present and it is conditioned by the intensively developed fracture system in the lake basement formations. This was also supported by the chemical data (chloride, sulphate, hardness and electric conductivity etc.) of the water. Water from the leakages on the right side of the dam shows the same chemical signature as the water from the lake. Whereas, water from the piezometer, monitoring well and the gallery of Hajvalia mine show similar values with those of the water from the lake. The calculations of the chloride mass balance showed that the fractions of lake and rainfall waters in the water mixture of Hajvalia mine were 67% and 33% respectively.
