Greece's water record, open for research
Every figure on this site traces to a Diavgeia decision (ΑΔΑ) or a named public register — 108,934 water-abstraction acts across all thirteen Directorates of Waters, 2011–2026, every sector. These pages lay the record out one place at a time so you can check a figure, cite it, print it, and build your own story across sectors or within one. For reporters, researchers, NGOs, officials — anyone. Free, with attribution.
By place
Municipality brief →
All sectors in one municipality: acts granted and refused, licensed volume by sector, basin stress, drought record, wells, treatment plants, hotels, data centres. 368 municipalities.
By sector
Sector brief →
One sector across the country: farm collectives, farms, municipal supply, livestock, industry, households, hospitality, data centres, gardens — acts, refusal rate, volume, turnaround, by directorate and by year.
By facility
Data-centre dossier →
One facility at a time: operator and legal entity, load, cooling, water source and any stated figure, the dated paper trail of acts, what is notable in the record, sources. All 50.
The same record, live
Where the water goes — the national allocation by sector, directorate and year · Refusal patterns — where permits are refused and whether stress predicts it · Data centres — the map, the permitting explainer and the published dataset · Every source and how the record is built.
Ground rules
- Attribution. Source: Greek Water Reports · waterintel.eu, compiled from Diavgeia decisions (ΑΔΑ-traceable) and named public registers. Counts are floors of what the public record holds.
- Floors, not totals. Counts are what Diavgeia and the registers hold and we could parse; coverage is stated, never inflated. Absence of a figure is reported as absence.
- Companies are named; people are not. Operators and legal entities come from the public company register (ΓΕΜΗ). Individual applicants are not shown on any public surface — the ΑΔΑ links to the public act.
- Facts, not findings. Where a rule is contested we show the rule, the challenge and its status; where numbers do not correlate we say so and list the confounders. Conclusions are yours.
- Method and corrections. Every pull is a script in the repository and every count a query you can rerun — how the record is built and checked. If a figure looks wrong, say so; corrections are logged and dated.
