Greek water woes escalate as Mornos Reservoir hits record low

It's not all sunshine and beaches in Greece right now. Experts are raising the red flag over the country's water supply, with Athens' main source, the Mornos Reservoir, facing its worst drought in decades.

The latest headlines aren't exactly cause for celebration. Over the past two years, the Mornos Reservoir has shrunk by a quarter, dropping from approximately 17 square kilometers to just 12 square kilometers. And it's getting worse. The past 12 months have seen the most significant decline yet.

With the once-submerged village of Kallio now visible once again and popular spots like the Aposelemi Dam on Crete and the Lake Pinios on the Peloponnese peninsula running low, it's no secret that Greece is in the grip of a water crisis.

But what's causing this dry spell? The Athens' national weather service points the finger at Mother Nature. With fewer rain showers, mild winters, and scorching temperatures, the Mornos Reservoir is suffering from a severe lack of snowmelt.

The numbers don't lie. According to satellite data, the Mornos Reservoir's surface area has shrunk dramatically, and the water levels are now so low that parts of the reservoir are drying up. And it's not just Greece that's feeling the heat. Drought is wreaking havoc across northern Greece, too.

Take, for example, the famed Pikrolimni salt lake. Once a popular tourist destination thanks to its mud baths, the lake is now barely a shadow of its former self. And with the Kilkis municipality urging residents to conserve water, it's clear that the water crisis is a serious threat.

And it's not just the environment that's feeling the pinch. The severe drought has forced authorities to declare a water crisis emergency in 14 municipalities, including popular tourist spots like Crete, Sifnos, Leros, and Kefalonia.

But there's hope on the horizon. Metrologists are predicting that rain is on the way, and Greeks are crossing their fingers for an old saying: that a hot, dry summer will be followed by a cold, snowy winter.

But until then, water conservation efforts are crucial. And with the crisis showing no signs of abating soon, it's up to everyone to do their part to keep our oceans blue.

As we dig deeper

Climate change is making the situation worse. Rising temperatures increase evaporation, drying out soils and vegetation, and exacerbating periods with low precipitation. Overexploitation of water resources, variable climate and demand due to the tourist industry, and infrastructure shortcomings are also contributing factors.

The impacts of the drought crisis include reduced reservoir levels, emergency declarations, water conservation measures, and significant implications for agriculture and the economy.
