Agia Marina Chrysochous Dam in Paphos Overflows

Following the Pomo and Argaka dams, the Agia Marina Chrysochous dam in Paphos has also overflowed due to heavy rainfall. The dam, the smallest in the province with a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters, is used for irrigating plantations in the area. The Evretou dam, the third largest in Cyprus, is at 38% of its capacity, significantly higher compared to the same period last year (25%). The overflow of the Agia Marina Chrysochous dam was expected, as its fullness had reached 99%.
