Normalerweise wenn man vom menschlichen Eingreifen in die Natur hört, stellt man sich drastische Veränderungen und Monster vor. Doch wie immer gibt es Ausnahmen. Eine dieser Ausnahmen ist mit Sicherheit der Plastiras-Stausee mit der Schleuse des Flusses Megdoba . Seine Erbauung hat der natürlichen Umgebung nicht geschadet sondern ihre Entwicklung sogar gefördert. Der Stausee ist 14 km lang, bis zu 4 km breit und bis zu 60 m tief.

Limni (lake) Plastira is the embellishment of the Karditsa prefecture. It is found in the Plastira Municipality and is 25km West of Karditsa prefecture in altitude 1000m. It was created by the waters of the Megdova river, tributary of Acheloos, and took its name from Nikolao Plastira, a big patriot and visionary of that period. General Nikolaos Plastiras inspired this ambitious project in 1925. Standing at the edge of the river, where lies today the sluice of Megdoba River (Tauropos), he envisioned this area as a huge artificial lake. In 1959, six years after his death, his vision of a beautiful lake came to life, providing with water the thirsty villages of Karditsa and offering electricity of some hundred million kilowatt-hours.
