Stergiou said in an interview that one of the long-term measures being examined is the partial diversion of water from rivers ending at Kremastes Lake, at the Evritania and Etoloakarnania borders.
Despite the extended dryness of the last two years that creates new facts, the Greek capital's full water supplying should not be called into question under any circumstances.
In addition, EYDAP has completed all preparatory projects and activated 17 drillings in Mavrosouvala Lake in Attica to increase inflows, while water is being drawn from Yliki Lake to relieve the Evinos-Mornos system.
Stergiou said that more drilling will take place. "We shall add collectively nearly 75 million cubic meters of water per year, reducing the shortage by 35%," the EYDAP official added.
