The water-is-life team decided that “May Day” 2024 was the perfect day to launch this new, more interactive “WiL” website because: Our water supply in the Asterousia Mountain and Coastal areas of Crete is shouting “Mayday! Mayday!”
And: On “May Day,” people all over the world celebrate the end of winter and honor workers’ achievements.
Well, over the past nine months, your water-is-life.eu website volunteer team has worked hard on creating this new, updated version of the website. Now, it is ready for you to use and add to! (We welcome your feedback and contributions in the new “Water Talk” blog.)



Internationally, the word “mayday” is used by aircraft and boat crews to signal “Hello! We’re in trouble! Mayday! Mayday!”
And as the freshwater supply here on “our” part of Crete is calling out loud and clear: “Mayday! Mayday! Help!” – it seems like more and more people are starting to listen.
The critical situation is increasingly in the news. Local and regional governments are discussing putting water restrictions in place (so-called “water usage bans.”)

- Read more about it in official media outlets here (in Greek) or here in English.
- Check out our new “home” section to understand the problem (and listen to the sounds of water a bit. Imagine! Our supply of it is running out!)
- Go to our new “can dos!” section, give one a try, and share how it worked for you in the new “Water talk” chat.
- And: Watch for updates here in the news blogs as the temperatures on Crete heat up – and our water supplies keep going down, down, down.
We hope that each one of us will find new “will” – new willingness to tackle this existential crisis together – and that this website will help us do that.
