Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Kouris River (Greek Κούρης; Turkish Kuris) is a waterway in Cyprus. Measuring 38 kilometres (24 mi) in length, it originates on the south part of the Troodos Mountains, traverses Limassol District, and reaches the sea at Kourion. Not much of the river exists in the lower reaches of its course after the building of the Kouris Dam in the 1980s. This had to effect of enlarging the river's northern basin. Erimi is situated on the river's eastern side, while Kantou is on the western portion. Episkopi, built atop Kourion, is situated near the river's western bank. Luigi Palma di Cesnola explored the area around the river's mouth and reported on it the 1870s.

Summary from Nederlands / Dutch Wikipedia (nlwiki)

De Kouris (Grieks: Κούρης, Turks: Kuris) is een 38 kilometer lange rivier in Cyprus. Deze waterweg ontspringt in het Troödosgebergte, doorkruist het district Limasol en eindigt in de Middellandse Zee bij Kourion. Er resteert weinig van de benedenstroom van de Kouris sinds de voltooiing van de Kourisdam in de jaren 1980. Door deze ingreep ontstond er ten noorden van de dam een zoetwaterbekken. Het dorp Erimi is gesitueerd op de oostoever van de Kouris, terwijl Kantou en Episkopi aan de westzijde liggen.
