The Sykia Dam is a mostly constructed but unused earth-filled embankment dam on the Acheloos River along the border of Karditsa and Arta Greece. The 170 m (560 ft) tall dam is part of the Acheloos River Diversion which is intended to divert a portion of the Acheloos west to irrigate 240000–380000 ha (590000–940000 acres) in the Thessaly plains. The project includes the Sykia Messochora Mouzaki and Pyli Dams along with a 17.4 km (10.8 mi) long channel.
