Reservoir

So what if the headlines of expert studies, newspapers and websites shout out, "We are running out of water"? So what if rainfall has decreased by half? The increase in consumption - and especially in the overburdened summer months when tourism is at its peak - continues to drain our reservoirs. The problem is not restricted to Greece either.

The contract for the project "Construction of Reservoir at Agiokampos-Livadotopos Site" in Larissa, with a budget of 19.1 million euros, was signed in the presence of Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Christos Staikouras, on Saturday.

The project aims to construct a barrier on the Puri stream in the Agiokampos area of the regional unit of Larissa.

Based on prior research people pumped from the natural ground reservoirs an estimated 2,150 gigatons of water or 860 million Olympic pools, during the study’s time frame

With an average daily water consumption of 3 million cubic meters, Istanbul has dams that are 70 percent full, but underground resources are still insufficient, warns an expert.

Professor Dr. İrfan Yolcubal of Istanbul Technical University explained that there are 25 water basins in Türkiye and that the Marmara Water Basin, which covers Istanbul, is considered "water poor" today.

Then the good queen heard their prayers and started to cry. Her tears created two mighty rivers, which carved several lakes. The drought was over. Today that area is known as the Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. This is the myth about how they were created.

Water levels in the dams supplying Istanbul have reached 79.4 percent thanks to recent rainfall.

Data from the Istanbul Water and Sewage Administration (İSKİ) showed that water level in Istanbul dams were at 24 percent on Jan. 11, when the city's water supplies were at alarmingly low levels, but increased by almost three times in three-and-half months.

The Mayor of Strelcha declared a state of emergency on the territory of the municipality, reported BTA. 

The reason is the complicated meteorological situation, which had led to serious issues with the Strelcha water catchment area and necessity to take urgent measures to deal with the consequences. 

Athens water supplier EYDAP is among 20 companies taking part in the European Union's Intcatch program, which aims to revolutionize water quality monitoring by using robotic boats with innovative sensors. 

New pictures have shown how two of the reservoirs supplying Istanbul’s water needs have nearly dried, as water levels in Turkey’s largest city hit a new record low.

The body of a missing 10-year-old girl was found on Aug. 26 at the Alkumru reservoir, ending two days of search and rescue efforts in the area after the dam’s gates opened to allow a large flood of water, dragging in several people who were having a picnic nearby.
