Greek islands: Fighting water shortages with desalination DW 08/30/2024
Briefly

The Mediterranean region is facing severe drought due to climate change. Greece's islands like Naxos struggle with water shortages exacerbated by tourist influx during peak seasons.
Tourists arriving on Naxos are largely unaware of the critical water shortage. Local infrastructure cannot meet the demand created by the seasonal influx of vacationers.
With no rainfall for nearly nine months, water reserves on Naxos are critically low. The situation is so severe that many local wells have run dry.
Families flock to Naxos for its beaches and affordability but remain oblivious to the environmental challenges, including water scarcity caused by tourism and climate change.
