The Greek government has announced a €15 million funding initiative aimed at addressing water scarcity in nine island municipalities, an urgent response to the ongoing drought impacting local water supplies and tourism. Signed by Environment and Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou, the program will support ten specific projects designed to enhance water management across various islands.
The municipalities targeted by this program include Naxos, Amorgos, Astypalaia, Rhodes, Leros, Skopelos, Alonissos, Zakynthos, and Vianno in Crete. The funded projects will focus on implementing desalination technologies, upgrading existing water supply networks, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of freshwater resources on these islands.
The initiative is seen as a critical step as the summer drought worsens, jeopardizing both the ecological balance and the economic lifeblood of the regions dependent on tourism. The government aims to mitigate the impact of the crisis and ensure that residents and visitors have access to adequate water supplies during peak travel months.
