Nektario Santorinio, vice minister and member of Parliament, Greece said "ensuring water autonomy" for Greek islands has become a priority for him. "Since becoming minister I’ve set out to stop the situation of islands not having access to water," he said.
Speaking at the European Desalination Society (EDS) event – Desalination for the Environment: Clean Water and Energy – held in Athens, he told delegates: "Small desalination plant installations are ongoing to achieve complete water autonomy across our islands."
"The political target of the ministry is firstly to achieve water autonomy in the Aegean islands and then the other areas with regards to the water issue. We need to stop the archaic situation of water transportation by boat, which was previously presented as a solution."
