Greece's water crisis deepens as Lake Marathon hits record lows, prompting emergency measures amid worsening drought.
Greece’s Epiphany celebrations on January 6, 2026, spotlighted worsening water scarcity, as Lake Marathon near Athens saw water levels drop to about 390 million cubic meters—down from over 1 billion in 2022.
The third consecutive year of decline prompted Athens to declare a water emergency.
Officials attribute the crisis to prolonged droughts and erratic rainfall, with climate change increasing extreme weather.
In response, the state utility launched a €1.5 billion, decade-long plan to reduce losses through pipe upgrades, smart meters, and wastewater reuse.
Residents noted reduced rainfall, and experts stress urgent action is needed to ensure water security.
