Re: Poll
Assuming you mean the Asprokremmos, I would bet money on it overflowing if I was a gambling man. The Kouris dam would be another kettle of fish. The Evretou dam won't overflow, as it has no overflow. The Evretou reservoir may well overflow though, though it is less likely than the Asprokremmos.

Is there no spillway at Evertou, what happens if it does get full, the water has to go somewhere?Dominic wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 6:48 am Assuming you mean the Asprokremmos, I would bet money on it overflowing if I was a gambling man.

Re: Poll
I thought there was a spillway at Evretou, to the left of the plain below the dam wall?

Re: Poll
There is a spillway at Evretou. It is just not at the dam. I said you will never see the dam overflow. You won't.
You can see our pictures of it here:

So folks will it or wont it "Overflow. I still am of the oppinion that it will NOT overflow. We drove there today and here are the Pics of the water level. Also interesting is that the pressure of the water is now being forced through the joints of the overflow -pics.
All things are possible

"With Asprokremmos dam set to overflow in the next few days, the Water Development department on Tuesday announced a series of measures from Thursday so that visits to the dam will be carried out safely and with the minimum of inconvenience."

Yes a couple of metres is needed, but its a vast, huge, mega area and so not much chance of ti overflowing.
This was my post on 18.2.
Latest figures from the Water Department showing that only 6 MCM are missing until the dam will overflow. As the daily inflow right now is about 0.8 MCM you can perhaps work out yourself when this will happen...By the way the highest levels of our dams is normally March/April not now in February

Re: Poll
I was actually thinking days, I was expecting it to happen this weekend (and that was before I read the article), but when I posted I chickened out and went for a more cautious estimate
