Po podatkih podjetja za distribucijo vode Eydap se je gladina jezera, ki se napaja iz bližnjih rek Mornos in Evinos, v zadnjih mesecih znižala za 30 odstotkov, zaradi česar so se znova pojavile ruševine hiš.

Ruševine hiš zapuščene vasi so postale vidne, potem ko je gladina umetnega jezera Mornos, ki zagotavlja oskrbo z vodo za prebivalce Aten, močno upadla, poroča Reuters.

Vas Kallio je bila potopljena v poznih 70. letih prejšnjega stoletja, ko so 200 kilometrov zahodno od Aten vzpostavili umetno jezero Mornos, ki služi kot rezervoar za pokrivanje potreb po vodi prebivalcev grške prestolnice.

Eden od lokalnih prebivalcev, ki je moral kot mladenič skupaj z drugimi domačini zapustiti Kallio, ko so območje poplavili, je ocenil, da je gladina jezera Mornos upadla za 40 metrov.

Skoraj 80 hiš v vasi Kallio, pa tudi cerkev in osnovna šola je bilo poplavljenih, da bi z umetnim jezerom zagotovili oskrbo Aten z vodo, navaja AFP.

Suša se je letos v Grčiji, kjer so sicer vajeni poletnih vročinskih valov, še poslabšala. Po najmilejši zimi doslej so v državi glede na predhodne podatke zabeležili najbolj vroč julij doslej.
