Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Lake Čepić (Croatian: Čepićko jezero, Raško, Kožljansko, Sisolsko, Italian: Lago d'Arsa) was the only natural lake in Istria, Croatia. It was drained in 1932 with a 4,250 m long tunnel near Plomin to the sea. The surface of the vast green valley was transformed into a fertile field for agriculture. The field's area is around 7 km2 (elevation 24 m), and the Boljunčica River flows into it, while from it Raša River.

Summary from Hrvatski jezik / Croatian Wikipedia (hrwiki)

Čepićko polje je krško polje u istočnim dijelu Istre na zapadnom podbrežju planine Učke. Na mjestu današnjeg polja nalazilo se Čepićko jezero (oko 860 hektara), koje je isušeno 1932. godine prokopom 4250 metara dugog odvodnog kanala, što je zabilježio Marijan Milevoj, i čije su vode otekle u Plominski zaljev. Danas iz ovog polja teče rijeka Raša.

Summary from Italiano / Italian Wikipedia (itwiki)

Il lago d'Arsa detto anche lago di Cepich (in croato Čepićko jezero) era il più grande lago dell'Istria. Data la sua conformazione e l'ampia zona paludosa che ne contornava le rive, è stato per secoli la principale concausa delle febbri malariche che infestarono una parte dell'Istria. Il suo immissario era il torrente Bogliunsizza. Oggi il lago più esteso dell'Istria è il lago artificiale di Buttoniga nei pressi di Pisino.
