Chechło-Nakło (Jezioro)[1] - an artificial water reservoir (post-exploitation reservoir) located in the Silesian Voivodeship, in the Tarnowskie Góry poviat, in the Świerklaniec commune, on the border of the villages of Świerklaniec and Nakło Śląskie. In the late 1960s, sand was mined in this place. In 1968, sand digging was completed, and after a few years the excavation was flooded with water. In 1973, the reservoir was transformed into a drainless lake. Its capacity is 1.5 million m³ and the area is 90.3 ha (Wikipedia)
