Water is the driving force supporting the precious wetland
biodiversity, as well as several activities of vital importance for the
local community. After giving life to the wetland ecosystem (1), water
reaches the hydropower plant of Agras (2), where it is used for energy
production.
From there, it flows to Edessa town to feed the urban waterways (3) and the waterfalls (4), the main local tourist attraction. Then it flows through a second hydropower plant (5), and after that it is collected into a water reservoir (6) that regulates the irrigation of 5000 ha of agricultural land (7). What remains unused continues its route to the sea (8). In this way, a valuable cycle of multiple and beneficial for both man and nature water uses is being completed. |
