Corfu Faces Water Shortages Amid Climate Change Challenges

Despite its lush landscape and recent rainfall, Corfu is grappling with significant water shortages, attributed to climate change and dwindling underground resources. Local authorities have responded by drilling a new well, but this has only provided temporary relief. As tourism swells, the existing water supply has rapidly depleted, resulting in scheduled water outages. The community is exploring various solutions, including a proposed desalination project and a pipeline bringing water from inland sources. However, aging infrastructure is exacerbating the situation, causing substantial losses through leakage.
