    Starina (Slovak: Vodná nádrž Starina) is a reservoir in north-eastern Slovakia, north of the town of Stakčín in the Carpathian Mountains. The reservoir is located on the Cirocha River within the Poloniny National Park and was developed between 1981 and 1988. It has a surface area of 311 hectares and a capacity of 59.8 million m³ of water[1] and is an important water reservoir for eastern Slovakia, mainly for the cities of Prešov and Košice. The long-distance water pipeline is 134.5 kilometers long. Most of the town of Starina - today still part of Stakčín - was flooded as a result of the dam construction. Starina gave the reservoir its name. The six villages located above the reservoir - Dara, Ostružnica, Smolník, Ruské, Veľká Poľana and Zvala - were designated as drinking water protection areas and were therefore also depopulated. A total of 3,463 residents were relocated and 769 houses demolished.
