Drought and water shortages in Greece have become so bad there’s concern water supplies may have to be cut for parts of the day.

Dry winters and scorching summers have left much of the country struggling to cope.

The Government is planning more water storage infrastructure in the long term but many fear this is too late, action is needed nowز
