CYPRUS DAMS
|
|
 Cyprus
has over 100
dams. The dams are built to create fresh water reservoirs
to prevent Cyprus from serious drought during the summer
and to ensure an equal distribution between the mountains
and the much drier coastal areas. Anually the reservoirs
store an average 370 million cubic meter fresh water.
On the map are 23 fresh water reservoirs indicated
which are popular recreational areas, mostly for fresh
water fishing. For more information about sportfishing,
the required licences and useful addresses see our section
about sportfishing.
