An increasing number of Greek islands, such as Alonnisos, Tinos, and Meganisi, are facing a severe water shortage, which has led authorities to declare a state of emergency for periods of three months. The water crisis is caused by reduced precipitation, increased demand during the summer season, the rising number of tourists, and deficiencies in local infrastructure. The government has approved measures to accelerate the installation of desalination units, essential for ensuring water supply during the tourist season. These measures aim to facilitate administrative processes and implement urgent projects to address the water needs of the affected islands.
