The objective of this contract was the detailed design of Idalion Dam and all associated structures, near the village of Kotsiati in Nicosia province. The dam was planned to be constructed at Kotsiatis (Yialias) river in the form of a mixed barrier consisting of a concrete gravity dam, of 17.30 m height on the left embankment and an earthfill dam on the right embankment. The technical data of the detailed design study are:1) Catchment area: 74.50 km², 2) Reservoir capacity: 530,000 m³, height (from foundation level): 17.30 m, 3) Spillway Maximum Capacity: 645 m³/s. During the feasibility phase, a large number of alternatives was examined with and without the use of fuse gates and for different crest elevations. The cost for each alternative was also a critical factor in order to decide the optimum solution. The contract scope included the hydrology analysis of the catchment.

The project focused on the problems of leakage and water quality in public water supply networks. TILDE project’s primary target was to optimize management of water distribution systems focusing on leakage. The leakage control process combines the tasks of monitoring, detection, location and repair. Within leakage management it was essential to be able to accurately estimate leakage levels, have good management and monitoring tools, detect location and repair leaks. The ultimate deliverable of TILDE project was a decision support tool (DST) to improve the overall management and operation of water distribution systems and data management tool (DMS) to support water utilities in managing different data in order to establish a state of art leakage strategy. The SCADA system, already installed an operative with in the city’s network, was used to collect and evaluate data from the pilot areas. The TILDE DST and DMS tools developments were connected to the SCADA system.
