A reservoir above Skala Eresou on Lesbos, Greece.


A reservoir above Skala Eresou on Lesbos, Greece. This reservoir supplies drinking and irrigation water to the surrounding farmland. Like most of the Meditteranean area it is getting hotter and drier as a result of climate change. Without irrigation, it would be virtually impossible to grow crops in this area.
