The Labūnava Reservoir is an artificial lake in Kėdainiai District Municipality, central Lithuania. It is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) south from Kėdainiai, next to Labūnava village. It was created in 1977, when a dam on the Barupė river had been built next to Labūnava village.[2] In 2003, the dam was reconstructed and a small hydroelectric plant (of 160 kW) has been built.
