Lake reservoir of Karavados
The small lake reservoir of Karavados is located one kilometer south of the village of Karavado (or Karavados), at a place called “Pera Alonia”, near the road leading from Skinias to Viannos. It is supplied with water by a tributary of the river Baritis, which is joined later with the river Anapodaris.
The dam was constructed in 1993 and it has a capacity of just 120,000 cubic meters. It is 265 meters long and 105 meters wide. It is a rural infrastructure covering an area of 800 acres. Because of its important position and the good condition of the wetlands of the Bariti river, the reservoir has gained value as a wetland, attracting a large number of birds.
