	Water Technology - Acheloos River Diversion Scheme - Greece
		Acheloos River flows from the Pindos Mountains in the centre of Greece, westwards to the Ionian Sea and is separated from the Thessaly plain by the southern end of the mountain range.
		Although a number of dams were built along the Acheloos in the intervening decades for HEP schemes, the diversion project itself remained stalled until 1984, when the Government expressed its renewed intention to proceed.
		The Acheloos River rises in the Pindos Mountains in the centre of Greece and flows westwards to the Ionian Sea.

		The aim of the Acheloos diversion project was to tunnel part of the flow of the Acheloos river eastwards, from its natural basin in Aetoloakarnania, to provide for additional water quantities to supplement irrigation in the Thessaly plain.
		The tactical approach used was to blur the real goal of the Acheloos diversion scheme and to present the construction of the diversion tunnel as part of a series of supposedly “free standing investments” in hydroelectric power generation, beneficial for Greece’s regional development and therefore eligible for EC funding.
		To further justify the transport of the Acheloos water to Thessaly the Greek government pointed to the fact that the situation of extensive over-exploitation of ground water could not be sustained for long.

		The Acheloos is still a beautiful river full of water, flowing through one of the most unspoiled areas in Europe.
		Scattered alongside the banks of the Acheloos are Byzantine and post-Byzantine churches and monasteries of considerable architectural, artistic and historical importance.
		It is not known what volume of water the Acheloos will provide, because so much has been drained from it for irrigation purposes, and climatic changes have decreased the amount of rainfall and snow which used to replenish it.

	HERAKLES’ FURTHER ADVENTURES: KALYDON
		Acheloos asked Herakles to return his lost horn, and Herakles agreed to do so if Acheloos gave to him in exchange the horn of Amaltheia (the cornucopiae, or "horn of plenty").
		Or she was a nymph, perhaps a daughter of Okeanos, who owned the goat, or, according to Pherekydes, she was Haimonios’ daughter and she had a bull’s horn which furnished whatever food and drink its possessor wished.
		It seems that Acheloos’ horn is a phallic symbol; his loss to Herakles in a sexual contest (the fight over Deianeira) is fittingly represented as emasculation.

		The task of the diversion of the Acheloos is not only a Greek but also a European task due to the size of the economical, developmental, technical, ecological and social factors involved.
		The expensive plans of the Swiss company Electro-Watt in 1968 and of the Canadian SNC in 1970 both came to the conclusion that the diversion of the Acheloos was uneconomical and suggested the exploitation of the waters of the Peneios and its tributaries with other local water reserves (Lake Karla etc.).
		We would say that the philosophy of the project is the widening of local inequalities in the country since it intends to develop an already for Greek standards developed part of the country, Thessaly, and the further downgrading of an already underdeveloped part of the country, Aetoloacarnania.

		An extended wetland complex, created by Acheloos and Evinos Rivers and dominated by Messolonghi (of the largest in the Mediterranean) and Aitolikon Lagoons.
		These lagoons are being used as fishponds and salt pans, while in the surrounding area the land is being cultivated and there are also small-scale industrial plants, while hunting is permitted.
		The irrigation works, the extension of the fishponds and the salt pans, the construction of dams on Acheloos, for the diversion of the river in Thessaly, building, road constructing, overgrazing and intensive hunting are causing serious problems.

		Note: The SEI of the diversion of the Acheloos includes three appendices A, B, and C, and the main study itself, from which the data of this study were taken.
		Now, although the diversion is put at about half the previous amount, no lessening of the diametre of the tunnel is planned, which means that the planning is the same and the possibilities of the full diversion of the Acheloos at Sykia are the same too.
		It refers to the cost of the water of the diversion, and we also inform you of the present cost (1993) for the farmer, which is 10,000 drs per hectare.

	ekathimerini.com \| Public Works Ministry renews plans to divert Acheloos River for water
		In the government’s latest plans to divert the Acheloos River in Thessaly it hopes to provide water for the region’s towns instead of irrigating its vast plains.
		The plan which Souflias has put back on the agenda concerns a partial diversion of the Acheloos (since a full diversion was categorically rejected in the past) of 600 million cubic meters of water a year.
		The grandiose notion of diverting the Acheloos was first raised by Professor Constantinos Kotsocostas of the National Technical University in 1925.

		While we spent a few minutes argueing whether we should paddle Lakmos river, who was obviously in perfect flow conditions, or stick to the original plan of Kamneitikos, some of us didn't care to contribute to the conversation and headed into the wood to spend their morning private time, in the best possible place!
		The works for this hydroelectric project, one of the greatest constructions in Greece, have been completed 5 years ago, but certain roadworks and habitants rehabillitation, still hold the project inoperative.
