As a prolonged heat wave scorched Greece, Sifnos faced dry water taps due to record temperatures and lack of rainfall, relying heavily on desalination.
After one of its desalination units broke down, Sifnos struggled to meet its water needs, leaving residents without water for 10 days.
Residents had to carry buckets from neighbors and buy bottled water, disrupting daily life severely with no access to basic necessities.
Despite repairs to the desalination unit, water cuts continued as tourist numbers surged, revealing the island's unsustainable water supply amid climate challenges.
