More Greek regions are being placed under emergency status as worsening drought fuels a growing water crisis. The latest additions include Poros, along with other areas already declared in a state of emergency due to water scarcity. The expanding list reflects what authorities describe as a long-term problem driven by reduced rainfall, lower reserves, and sharp summer demand from tourism. A draft law would speed up planning and procurement for water infrastructure, including desalination and network upgrades, once emergency declarations are issued.
