Mornos Lake is an artificial lake having been constructed so as another reservoir to be created for covering the growing needs for the water supply in Athens. It was created in 1979 by constructing a dam in Mornos River. The total area of the lake, which corresponds to its average level, is about 15.5 square kilometers, making it the ninth largest artificial lake in Greece.
The lake is located in the center of Fokida prefecture, covering with its water a basin to the west of Lidoriki, formed between the mountains Giona and Vardousia. It collects water not only from Mornos River but also from its tributaries, which flow directly into the lake. The most important of them is Kokkinopotamos, which stems from Vardousia mountain. Mornos Lake takes also water from Evinos Lake through a tunnel that was constructed for this purpose.
