Nodlandsvatnet[2] is a lake in Eigersund Municipality in Rogaland county, Norway.[3] It is located about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of the town of Egersund. The 3.95-square kilometre (1.53-square mile) lake is a major reservoir for the local energy company Dalane Energi, and has a capacity of 20,000,000 cubic metres (5,300,000,000 US gal), the second largest in the area after the lake Spjodevatnet with 24,000,000 cubic metres (6,300,000,000 US gal).[4]
