Ruins of a long-sunken Greek village emerge as drought saps a vital reservoir

Like ghosts from the past, sunken villages at the bottom of water reservoirs are not meant to be seen. As an unprecedented drought induced by climate change rampages across much of southern Europe this summer, reserves at the artificial Lake Mornos — the biggest of the four reservoirs supplying drinking water to Greece’s capital, Athens — have hit their lowest in 16 years. The receding waters have exposed what was left of Kallio, a village submerged in the late 1970s to create the reservoir some 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Athens.
