Petrides, G. P.

Reconnaissance geological investigations of the Petra earth-dam proposed site / by G. P. Petrides. - Cyprus: Geological Survey Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Republic of Cyprus, 1973. - 8 p. : tables, maps ; 30 cm.

April 1973

The proposed site is situated on the Ayii Saranta river, tributary to the Atsas river. Topographically the site is not ideal for dam construction and only a structure of the height of the order of 20 metres or less should be considered. It rests within the Upper Pillow Lavas which are intruded by a fair amount of north-south trending almost vertical dykes of variable width and few northeast trending sills with a modest dip to the northwest.
