| Description | Three water canals side by side (moirasia) taking water in from one main channel descending from the southermost entry point of diversion near mill on 'Rotsos' location plot no.514 (BU 0064). Situated on east side of main village road in front of plots 319, 544, 543. From entry channel south, 0.50m wide, water flows into a 2X 1.5 approx.'bed' where it is slowed down by means of intercepting low wall with opening 0.50 wide just in front of channel. Water then flows into 'bed' 2X4m just before three canal branches. Metal sluice gates (kopses) 1m in from canal walls, suspended on metal beam, control rate of water flow into each individual canal. Westernmost leads off onto higher level. 2 channels out of 3 take water to Korakou and Evrichou while one takes water to Tembria. Photos in private archive. Water flows under cement slab 'bridges' leading into houses on east side, of 1950 ties design, while houses on west side of road are of the continuous built type. Possibly this was original village edge, that water flowed by and village expanded eastward in the early fifties.TAESP 2002 - Photos by Chris |
