Asprokremmos dam is the second largest dam in Cyprus. It is built at an altitude of about 100 m above sea level and is located 16 km, (10 miles) east of the city of Pafos
It was completed in 1982 and has a capacity of 52,375,000cubic metres.
Due to poor rainfall it is a rare event that the dam overflows. The last time this happened was in 2004. It is considered an important wetland for endemic and migratory birds.
