Thisavros Dam, Embankment dam in Drama, Greece
The rock-fill dam rises 172 meters above the Nestos River, featuring three large chutes for controlling water overflow through its spillway system.
The construction of Thisavros Dam spanned from 1986 to 1996, marking a substantial engineering achievement in Greek infrastructure development.
The dam's Greek name, Φράγμα Θησαυρού, reflects its connection to the local region, while its position serves both Drama and Nikiforos communities.
Three turbines, each producing 128 megawatts, generate electricity during peak hours and pump water back to the reservoir during low-demand periods.
The reservoir holds 705 million cubic meters of water and irrigates 80,937 hectares of agricultural land across northeastern Greece.
