Kantanos-Selino Launches Strategic Water Management Plan

Thursday, 30 April 2026/Flashnews/1 
The municipality of Kantanos-Selino, in the Chania regional unit of western Crete, held an informational meeting to begin drafting a strategic water management plan for the area. Local officials and stakeholders gathered to discuss how water resources across the municipality will be planned, allocated, and protected in the coming years. Kantanos-Selino covers a largely rural and mountainous area in the southwestern corner of Crete, including villages near the Libyan Sea coast. For visitors, this initiative reflects broader efforts by Cretan municipalities to ensure reliable water supply in a region that faces increasing pressure from summer tourism and climate-related drought. No immediate disruptions to water services for tourists are expected as a result of this planning process.
