In addition, the inclusion of large irrigation projects in the new RDP was discussed, such as the dams of Belma Agia, Delerion Tyrnavos, Neochoritis Trikala, while efforts are being made to include the Titanes dam as well.

The Skopia Farsala and Yperia Farsala-Orphana Karditsa dams and the irrigation networks of Tavropos are implemented through PPP.

At the meeting, financing methods for the maintenance-management of dams, such as Gyrtoni, Megas River, etc., were examined.

“We are continuing the effort to include more irrigation projects in co-financed programs of the HYPAAT, with the aim of reducing irrigation costs for our producers, rational water management and ensuring the required water quality. I thank the Ministry of Rural Development and Food and S.G. of Community Resources Dimitris Papagiannidis for the excellent cooperation, which brings positive results to the Thessalian plain” said the Regional Governor of Thessaly Kostas Agorastos.
