"Water from Albania or from Sagiadha?".
This is the title of the front page of the local newspaper " Corfupress ", which returns again to the vital problem for Corfu, but also for Lefkada, the lack of drinking water.
The authorities in the two northern Ionian islands are very worried about this year's summer, as they do not know how to cope with the biggest problem that threatens the well-being of the inhabitants and the flow of tourism, the water supply as a problem that has existed for years and is not is resolved.
In Corfu, with the initiative of the District Governor Yiannis Trepeklis in cooperation with the mayors as well as with the intervention of the central government, "workarounds" are required with a pipeline from mainland Greece, while in Lefkada, the existing pipeline that supplies the island, leaks more than how much water do you bring?
According to the Greek newspaper, the local bodies have continued contacts with senior government officials, where they are said to have received the "green light" to see as a promising solution, the taking of water through an underwater pipeline to Corfu from the sources in the Blue Eye of Albania.
The Greek government seems to consider this project as an opportunity for interstate cooperation, which will not be affected by the possibly temporary tensions between the two countries, the newspaper points out.
It is even mentioned that the area of southern Italy is expected to be supplied by the water resources of Gjirokastra, with a project that has been recently discussed in the trans-European programs financed by the Italian government, for the construction of an underwater pipeline 85 km long with a cost of about 1 billion euros.
However, the local bodies of the prefecture of Ioni estimate that apart from the water project from the Kaltër eye, they see more feasible the use of water resources in Thesprot and especially in the resources located in front of Corfu, north of Sajadha, near the Greek-Albanian border. This year also recorded a large increase in the number of tourists, which has led to an increase in consumption, so residents are urged to use water sparingly, especially in the midday hours, especially in the critical period of the months of July-September.
Mitsotakis has said 'YES' to the idea of water from the Blue Eye
In Corfu, the information indicates that the district has already continued contacts with senior Government officials while receiving the "green light" for the investigation of the solution to the import of water from sources in the Blue Eye of Albania.
However, the assessments of the regional actors are that it seems more feasible to use the water resources in Thesproti and especially in the sources located in front of Corfu, north of Sagiadha, by pumping and transporting the water.
In fact, there can be inter-regional and inter-municipal cooperation with the granting of compensatory benefits from the side of Corfu and for the areas from which the water will be taken.
The information shows that the mayor Yannis Trepeklis has already been in contact with officials of the Hellenic Geological and Mining Authority (IGME) to explore the possibilities of both solutions, while from the government's point of view the relevant factors are positive to contribute to the funding after the "cancellation " final by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for the solution of the dams in the north of Corfu./ Pamphlet
