Kouris Reservoir, Reservoir and water supply system in Alassa, Cyprus
The Kouris Reservoir collects water from three rivers: Kouris, Limnatis, and Kryos, storing up to 115 million cubic meters for regional distribution.
The construction of Kouris Dam began in 1984 and reached completion in 1988, requiring the relocation of the entire Alassa village to a new site.
The reservoir functions as part of the Southern Conveyor Project, connecting southwestern and southeastern Cyprus through a 120-kilometer water transportation network.
Located 15 kilometers northwest of Limassol, the reservoir features a clay core earthfill embankment measuring 110 meters in height and 550 meters in length.
In 2008, local residents reported sightings of an unidentified large reptile in the reservoir waters, prompting searches that yielded no concrete evidence.
