Reservoir

The Mornos Reservoir was constructed in the mid-20th century, it took away nature and forests around the lake and added a dam located one kilometre from the road linking to the villages of the Vardousia mountains. It took a few years to complete and it supplies water around the prefecture as well as a part of the Fthiotida and Viotia prefectures.
