Growing threat of water shortages/ Greece launches 2.5 billion euro project

Greece has just launched projects worth 2.5 billion euros to implement its water management plan and address the growing threat of water shortages.

Minister of Environment and Energy, Stavros Papastavrou, announced the investment together with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the 100th anniversary event of the Athens Water and Sewerage Company (EYDAP). They stressed that water will remain a public good and maintain its status as one of the highest quality in Europe.

The centerpiece of the plan is a project to partially divert the flow of the Krikeliotis and Karpenisiotis rivers into the Evinos reservoir, which supplies the Greek capital. It is designed to ensure Attica's water supply for the next three decades.

Papastavrou warned that climate change is exacerbating water shortages at a time when water availability in Greece is near historic lows.

 The new measures aim to protect drinking water for more than half of the country's population and bring greater coordination in water management across the country./CNA
