Strandavatnet is a lake in Hol municipality, Norway. The lake covers an area of 23.75 square kilometres (9.17 sq mi), and lies 975 metres (3,199 ft) above sea level.' The lake is a reservoir for the Rud hydroelectric powerstation in Hovet, Buskerud. In 1952/1953 a dam was constructed which lifted the lake level 28 meters, thus the lake varies between 950 and 978 m above sea level.^{[citation needed]}

First rock filling dam in Norway

The dam in the Strandavatnet was the first rock filling (embankment) dam in Norway. You can see the dam on your left hand side from FV 50 at Myrland (the road to Raggsteindalen goes over the dam). The Hol 1 power station, in Hovet, Buskerud utilizes water from two watercourses, Urunda, where Strandavatnet, is the intake reservoir, and Votna where Varaldset is the intake reservoir. Stolsvatnet is the biggest and highest reservoir in the Votna watercourse. See figure below.[1]

Der Strandavatnet ist ein norwegischer Stausee in der Gemeinde Hol, in der Provinz Viken. Die Wasseroberfläche beträgt rund 23,75 km². Die Höhe der Wasseroberfläche bei Vollstau liegt bei rund 978 moh. Bedingt durch die 1952/1953 errichtete, 28 m hohe Staumauer schwankt der Wasserstand und kann bis auf ca. 950 moh. absinken. Im Südosten teilt sich der See in die zwei Arme Faugelifjorden und Stryknasfjorden auf.[1] Zudem ragt dort die Oddelii-Halbinsel in den See, deren höchste Erhebung der Oddefjellet mit 1115 moh. darstellt.[1]
