The Tavropos irrigation project began construction in 1963 and began operating gradually from 1965, and was completed in 1973. In 1987, the project was expanded to 2,500 ha in the A’ Canals zone. In 1992, it was expanded to zones B’ and C’ with an irrigable area of 7,100 acres. The perimeter of the project amounts to 160,000 ha and the irrigable area to approximately 120,000 ha.
The water supply to the Tavropos irrigation project is provided by the Tavropos reservoir (Lake Plastira) through the Plastira Hydroelectric Station and the flow is regulated through a regulating tank with a capacity of 600,000 m3, which has been operating since 1965. The maximum water level in the tank (A.S.Y.) is +188.10 m. The maximum water discharge capacity at the Tavropos irrigation project is 16 m3/sec.
Z&A is responsible for the rehabilitation design of the total irrigation network. The network is divided into primary, secondary and tertiary. The primary network consists of the main transmission pipelines that follow the layout of the feeder canal. The secondary network consists of the transmission pipelines that branch off from the primary network and end at the water intake points of the tertiary network. The tertiary network is the distribution network in which the water intakes are placed to supply water to the agricultural area.
The total length of the primary network is approximately 23.0 km, the secondary network is 92.7 km and the tertiary network is 679.8 km (Sum 795.5 Km) The diameter of the pipes range from DN140 -DN2000.
Two pumping station are suggested (270 m3/hr and 702m3/hr)
