The country is in one of the most critical periods in the management of its water resources, as the Waste, Energy and Water Regulatory Authority is preparing to declare a "red" alert for Patmos and Leros, while the same is expected to happen in Attica tomorrow.

Significant interventions to tackle the threat of lack of water will be announced today, as Kyriakos Mitsotakis will chair a wide-ranging meeting to present the national water plan. This was preceded by a similar broad meeting at the government’s vice-presidency a few days ago, and the evidence is also extremely worrying and calls for government intervention. According to the information, Greece is ranked 19th in the world in terms of the risk of water scarcity, while the reserves in Attica have decreased by more than 50% compared to 2022.
