    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.
