Langavatn Dam forms part of the reservoir system serving Mjolkar Hydropower Plant in the Westfjords. Langavatn was developed as storage for Mjolka I, with water conveyed onwards through a canal towards Holmavatn.

The reservoir provides approximately 3.2 GL of storage. The development dates from 1971–1972, when the water storage system of Mjolkarvirkjun was expanded.
