Kerkini Lake - Serres (Greece)

Lake Kerkini is roughly pear shaped with its apex at the dam near Lithotopos. It is approximately 15 km long and its maximum width, when full, reaches 8,5 km.

The complexion of the lake has changed after human's intervention. Firstly, in 1970's some changes done for using the lake as reservoir. At 1982 the new, biggest and taller dam was inaugurated next to Lithotopos village which was bouild 400 meters westwards from the old one. 

The eastern dike was raised to a level of 39 m a.s.l. and another dike was constructed to the same height, forming the western boundary of the lake near the village of Kerkini.
