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.
Due to poor rainfall it is a rare event that the dam overflows. On 27 January 2012 [1] the dam did overflow, for the first time since 2004.[2]
It subsequently overflowed again in March 2019[3] and again in January 2020.[4]
It is considered an important wetland for endemic and migratory birds[5]
