Last year, our country experienced one of the most severe water crises in recent years. Despite the beneficial increase in rainfall we’ve had during this hydrological year, the nightmare remains very much alive. Dr. Kleanthis Nikolaidis, former Director of the Meteorological Service, speaks to “Alpha on Sunday” about the true extent of the impacts of the prolonged water shortage, explains just how effective the measures taken to improve the water balance actually are, as well as how we can reduce the cost of desalination. At the same time, he proposes specific solutions for water management, explains how the much-discussed cloud-seeding technology works, and cites examples from other countries.
