The dam and hydro accumulation Modrac are located in the northeastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Construction of the dam was completed in 1965, and that year the accumulation was filled. Hydro accumulation consists of three rivers Spreča, Oskova and Turija. In recent years, the useful capacity of hydro accumulation was significantly reduced compared to the originally projected state. The main cause of reduction in the useful capacity is increasing quantities of the silt, mainly coal dust from the coalmine Banović;i. Today, hydro accumulation lake is mainly used for water supply of Tuzla power plant and the supply of drinking water the towns of Tuzla and Lukavac.
