Description

Improving the status of water bodies in Greece is highly necessary, as Greek islands are experiencing increased water shortage. This project is expected to substantially support the existing water supply network of the Mandra-Eidyllia municipality, which presents significant problems after periods of no rain and especially during the summer season, responding with difficulty to the needs of residents and visitors. To achieve this, the project will supply, transport and commission a prefabricated portable seawater desalination unit with multiple treatment stages, with a minimum total capacity of 600 m3/d of potable desalinated water, as well as constructing the necessary supporting infrastructure for the operation of the unit.

At the same time, the project aims to protect the environment, by applying the most mature and modern water treatment technologies, taking into account the parameters of climate change and the energy footprint of conventional desalination units.
