The river is formed by the Amari dam, which was inaugurated in 2009. The lake has a capacity of 23 million cubic meters and is a great wetland for the southeastern Mediterranean basin, with many species of birds and animals appearing in the area. The lake is located in the green valley of Amari, 25 km southeast of Rethymnon.

After the completion of the Potamon Dam lake , the conditions for even greater attraction and presence of birds in the municipality of Amari area were created . The dam is in a great location, in a green valley and was constructed to meet the increasing water needs for irrigation of the wider area of Rethymnon .The dam was built in recent years in a position north of the village and of Patsos Gorge that had as a result the active transformation of the landscape since the small closed valley of Potamon now hosts a lake which is already working as an artificial wetland of great interest because it forms a new attraction area of recreational and tourism activities. Biologically speaking, it already seems to host a significant population of migratory birds , not to mention the important presence of endangered species such as the Ferruginous Duck. Its reservoir contains a significant amount of water.
