Water infrastructure efforts in Messenia are progressing through different stages of development and funding. A project to improve the water supply network from the Barka springs to Velika has entered its final stage. This €2.8 million initiative, funded by the Recovery Fund, involves constructing 18 km of external network to ensure water sufficiency and reduce leaks across several settlements. Current work includes restoring road surfaces affected by pipeline installation.

In contrast, a separate proposal for the Trikorfou–Polylofos reservoir faces uncertainty. While studies for the €7.1 million project have been budgeted, construction funding remains unconfirmed. The proposed reservoir and irrigation network aim to combat water scarcity and support local agriculture, but local officials are currently calling for increased political pressure to move the project from the evaluation phase to actual construction.
