Flood protection and erosion prevention in Greece

Overview

Greece has initiated several infrastructure projects focused on flood protection and erosion prevention across different regions.

In the Municipality of Preveza, the Regional Committee approved a tender for the Arethousa River with a budget of approximately €916,015.75. The project aims to protect 480 meters of the river upstream from its mouth through sediment removal and riverbank reinforcement to mitigate overflows caused by heavy rainfall and unplanned construction.

In Western Attica, Piraeus Bank is financing a €2 million initiative to implement anti-erosion and flood prevention works. These interventions are designed to protect and restore forest areas damaged by a wildfire on July 31, 2026. The project involves constructing log and branch dams and wooden barriers across 10 streams to prepare for autumn and winter rainfall.
