| Description | Two tiered weir with water diversion channel leading off along the east bank, while the river veers westwards towards 'Deimma Ayios Epifanios'. The river bed approaching the weir is divided into two sections, an westsection and an east section. The west section possesses the weir in the form of a cemented drop placed at an angle to the riever bed, allowing the river flow to turn westwards. The eastern section is cemented on both sides to form a canal. At its starting point, beside the weir, there are koftouses or sluice gate openings on all four sides. All are of the same size. On the southernmost, the gate may block the river flow into the channel and divert it only into the river (1). Koftousa no. 2 parrelel to no. 1 and about 1m north of it allows water to enter upto that point, blocks its flow further on, but may allow the flow to be diverted to the east, towards Phlasou and into the river bed at the same time (for the flow of the 'polyi' or surplus overflow). There is presence of only one metal gate, which may imply that only one opening at a time is blocked. |
