Mavrokolympos Repair Work - Cyprus
The Mavrokolympos Reservoir has sprung a leak, and unfortunately the only way to fix it required it being emptied of all its water. In this film we fly the drone over its muddy surface. Owing to Government Flight Restrictions due to a nearby military base, we cannot get too close, but the zoom lens provides us with a decent look. The empty lake is strangely beautiful, with its gleaming floor. I imagine the fish population weren't too happy about it, though there is some water in the upper part still. We finish with a view from the coastal side, where you can see the reservoir overflow as it runs off into the med.
