Thessaly flood management and protection efforts

Overview

Thessaly regional authorities have focused on flood management and disaster preparedness. Initially, Governor Dimitris Kouretas outlined long-term strategies for the Volos urban area, including planned flood protection interventions for over 15 locations, the implementation of large dams, and irrigation strategies.

Following these discussions, a specific 1 million euro flood protection project was launched in Volos. This initiative involves cleaning the Krausidis river and other local streams by removing debris, waste, and vegetation to maximize drainage capacity and prevent overflows before the winter season. The project is being monitored by Magnesia Vice Regional Governor Anna-Maria Papadimitriou and funded by the relevant ministry.
