ABOUT LIMASSOL

Limassol.

The district of Limassol which covers the south part of Cyprus, borders with the district of Larnaca in the East, with the district of Paphos in the West, as well as with the capital Nicosia in the north.

The rivers Kourris, Avdimou and Paramali flow out at the gulf of Episkopi and the rivers Garillis and Yermasoyia at the gulf of Akrotiri. The longest river is Kourris (38 kilometers). These rivers have their springs in the Troodos mountain and flow from December to May.
The limited water resources of the countryside and the continuously increasing need for irrigation, industrial and touring aims, lead to the building of the dams in order to increase the water reserves.

The dams are of great importance to Limassol. Sufficient agricultural areas are watered in the summer time when the rain is limited.
