**Lipsko Lake** is an artificial lake of [Bosnia and Herzegovina](/source/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina). It is located in the municipality of [Livno](/source/Livno).

## Hydropower and irrigation system

At 20,3 kilometers the Bistrica finally reaches Lipsko Lake, near village of [Lipa](/source/Lipa_(Livno)), which is first and smaller of two artificial reservoirs in hydroelectric power plant system [Buško Blato](/source/Bu%C5%A1ko_Blato) - [HPP "Orlovac"](/source/Orlovac_Hydroelectric_Power_Plant), other being Buško Blato reservoir. In this system Lipsko Lake is a compensation basin and serves for regulation of an outflow of water toward intake facility at [penstock](/source/Penstock) station "Lipa" at the foot of [Kamešnica](/source/Kame%C5%A1nica_(mountain)) mountain, and across the border into [Croatia](/source/Croatia) where hydroelectric power plant "HE Orlovac" is situated. Lipsko Lake is connected with much larger reservoir of Buško Blato, whose [head](/source/Hydraulic_head) can rise above head of Lipsko Lake up to several meters, via the reversible canal of "Lipsko-Buško" where it stores an excess waters from Livanjsko Polje and the Bistrica, especially during flooding season and high precipitation periods. For transfer of these waters over the barrage "Podgradina", at village [Podgradina](/source/Podgradina_(Livno)), into Buško Blato reservoir, system uses reversible pumping station "Buško Blato", built at the point where canal reaches barrage.[1][2]
