Abstract:

The present paper presents measurements of water flow and suspended particulate material of Pinios River (Thessaly) during the hydrological year 2013/2014. The measurements were carried out in two positions before Pinios enters the agricultural deltaic plain and one inside the delta. Furthermore, an effort is made to estimate the water contribution to Pinios by the springs of Tempi valley and the quantity of water being diverted to the old river bed for irrigation purposes. These measurements were compared to corresponding data from the hydrological year 2012/13 and the significant differences that arose can be attributed to decreased rainfall and probably to the operation of a gate valve in Girtoni, that was initiated in the dry period of 2014.
