And overall reserves for Attica were down by nearly a quarter over the same period, according to the water utility company EYDAP. Home to more than a third of Greece&#8217;s population, the region of 3.7 million inhabitants was recently placed on &#8220;yellow alert&#8221; by EYDAP, which urged people to reduce consumption to keep reserves at a sustainable level.<\/p>\n<p>Across Greece&#8217;s islands, which tend to rely on wells and desalination plants to meet water needs, the problem is even more acute. Added pressure comes from the millions of tourists who flock to the country&#8217;s beaches each summer, swelling the local populations. On some islands suffering from overtourism, the demand for water in summer &#8220;is sometimes 100 times greater than in winter&#8221;, Nikitas Mylopoulos, a professor of water resource management at the University of Thessaly, told AFP. Mylopoulos said the problem of mass tourism was being compounded by poor water management.<\/p>\n<p>The water shortfalls have been made worse by intense heat, which scientists say is at least in part a result of human-driven climate change. The mildest Greek winter on record has been followed by higher average temperatures this spring. The head of the water utility EYDAP, Charalambos Sachinis, has said a &#8220;special plan&#8221; had been drawn up &#8220;to deal with extreme water shortages&#8221;, including investments of around 750 million euros ($819 million).<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20240715-greece-fears-water-shortages-after-warmest-winter-ever\">France24<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-548\/\">Greece fears water shortages after warmest winter ever<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1104,9516,2478],"class_list":["post-132388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-greece","tag-water-shortage","tag-winter"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132388\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
