Alarming Water Levels at Lake Kournas – Greece
A striking example of the crisis is Lake Kournas near Georgioupoli in Chania, where water levels have dropped significantly to 2.2 metres from a maximum average of 7.5 metres. Aris Papadogiannis, CEO of the Development Organisation of Crete, expressed concern in an interview with ERT Chania. He remarked, âLake Kournas has never been in such a state. This recurring hydrological deficiency over two years has drastically affected the local flora and fauna.â
