The water shortage at Greece’s key reservoirs around Attica is worsening, with supplies now at half of their 2022 levels.

1. The water shortage issue in Attica, Greece, the region around the country’s capital, is becoming increasingly severe, with water reserves currently reduced to less than half compared to the same period in 2022.

   Notably, from February 17 to March 17, the daily extractable water reserves from the reservoirs supplying Attica were approximately 665 million cubic meters per day. This represents a decrease of about 26% compared to the same period last year when daily reserves were around 900 million cubic meters per day.

   Moreover, the difference is even greater when comparing today’s reserves in the EYDAP reservoirs- the key reservoirs serving the Athens region- with those from February 17 to March 17, 2023. During that period reserves reached 1.1 billion cubic meters per day, and the respective figures for 2022 and 2021, which were around 1.3 billion cubic meters per day. In other words, within three years—from 2022 to today—reserves have been reduced by nearly half.
