The Schoinas dam is still under construction in 2025 but quite spectacular though.

Reportage 2025:
Karpathos dam in crisis: Million-euro project fails, sewage threatens
The Schoinas dam, which was supposed to solve Karpathos' water problems, has become a scandal. The project has been delayed for years (2015), and the budget has grown from 9 to 17 million euros without being completed.
The water supply is now threatened by a sewage leak from the village of Menetes. Due to Karpathos' limestone subsoil, the sewage seeps down towards the dam, which poses a serious contamination risk.
