Project description
Scope:
Study for the design of the dam, in order to ensure water availability for the operational purposes of the Porto-Carras resort complex.
Description:
The project includes the dam, spillway and energy dissipation, water intakes and road access.
The dam and reservoir lies within the private Porto-Carras areas. The main structures are:
- a lean RCC dam with a height of 32m and volume ~40.000 m3
- a spillway with capacity 330m3/s
- a 4 level water intake structure
The reservoir has total capacity ~1.000.000m3
