What is happening

What the sources report

Evthymios Lekkas stresses the need to re-examine the adequacy of all flood defence projects in Attica and the rest of Greece.[1]

He gave an interview to ANA-MPA, and he is president of OASP and an emeritus professor.[1]

Regarding Attica, he notes that in several areas the existing projects do not match the risks posed by today's climatic conditions.[2]

He identifies the main causes as buried or enclosed streams, concreting over land, and inadequate drainage.[1]

According to him, the El Niño phenomenon that developed during 2026 is expected to cause serious problems at least until the first months of 2027.[2]
