From beneath the shrinking Lake Mornos in Central Greece, the muddied remains of homes are reemerging nearly 45 years since the village that once stood here disappeared underwater.

The Attica region is facing the prospect of water shortages, as the water reserves in Lake Mornos are decreasing significantly, according to a report on private broadcaster SKAI.

An artificial lake located in Central Greece, Mornos serves as a reservoir for the city of Athens.

Scientists are concerned about the situation that seems to be consolidating in Greece – and especially in Attica – regarding water reserves, which are at dangerously low levels.

“Water: There’s not enough. Therefore, we are careful to have it.” This was the message Athenians were “bombarded” with every day in the campaign for water conservation during the great drought of the late 1980s and into the mid-1990s.
