Abstract

The WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planning) model was used to estimate the effects of drought in addition to rural and tourist activity on the operation of two multi-purpose reservoirs in the Chalkidiki region of Greece. In scenarios based on historical data from 1975-2005, the fully effective months exceeded 85% of the total simulation period, while short-term droughts (less than two years' duration) made the reservoirs ineffective to cover summer water demand. The results show that short-term droughts, in combination with high competition for water supply during summer between tourist and rural activities, may have environmental and social implications in semi-arid environments.
