Η μοναδική τεχνητή λίμνη στην Αττική

Η μοναδική τεχνητή λίμνη στην Αττική.  Marathon Lake is an artificial lake created to collect water for the water supply of Athens. It was formed by the construction of the Marathon Dam at the junction of the torrents of Haradros and Barnabas and a few kilometers away from the town of Marathon, Attica. Marathon Lake was the main water supply for the water supply of Athens from 1931, when it started to supply water, until 1959. In 1959, a supply connection from Lake Yliki began to operate, while from 1981 most of the water for water supply of the Greek capital comes from the artificial lake of Mornos. Today, all the water of Lake Marathon would be sufficient for only a few days of water supply to Athens.
