Stormwater management

Local mayors along the Kifissos River in Athens have raised alarm about the potential for catastrophic flooding, with 250,000 residents and vital infrastructure at risk.

A recent National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) report highlights the southern stretch of the river as the most vulnerable, warning that the area is already at its limit for stormwater drainage.

The Hellenic Society for Environment and Culture (ELLET) and three environmental organizations are calling for a review of the Erasinos River management project in the Mesogeia region of Attica.
