Additional Rain Needed to Fill Reservoirs
January 23, 2026
Recent rains have had minimal impact on the water levels in reservoirs, with only 400,000 cubic meters collected. Engineer Marios Hadjikostis emphasizes the need for more heavy rains, particularly in February and March, to improve the situation. The current reservoir capacity stands at only 11%, compared to 26% last year. Snowfall plays a limited role, primarily aiding river flow rather than directly increasing reservoir levels. We need an additional 45 million cubic meters to enhance water reserves.
