In northeastern Greece, Lake Volvi faces a significant threat as prolonged dry spells and sweltering heat have caused its waters to recede drastically. As the nation’s second-largest lake, Volvi’s levels have sunk by an alarming meter over recent months. According to the recent assessment by the Hellenic Wetland Habitat Center, this descent has reached a temporary halt.
The water’s dramatic retreat has unveiled sections of a historic monument, a sight caught by state broadcaster ERT’s footage. This event starkly illustrates how climate shifts are transforming the lake’s landscape.
Experts confirm the troubling trend, emphasizing that climate changes have led to unprecedented low water levels across all four lakes in the Central Macedonia area over the past decade. The situation underscores the urgent need for environmental awareness due to increasing climate variability.
