Karavitis2 National Technical University of Athens, Chemical Engineering Department, Process Analysis and Plant Design Section, 9 Heroon Polytechniou, Zografou Campus, GR-15780, Athens, Greece ABSTRACT: Desalination powered by Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is presented in order to augment the water supply in the semi-arid region of Rhodes island.. The island of Rhodes was chosen as a case study as it relies mostly on the exploitation of groundwater resources and faces serious water shortage problems due to the aquifers depletion. Alternatives are discussed and compared in contrast to the construction of storage dams so as to meet the urban demand up to the year 2040. Results may indicate that by using also financial incentives and management approaches, desalination powered by RES could be an attractive and environmentally friendly option in an effort to solve problems related to water quantity and quality in semi-arid regions with adequate Renewable Energy potential. 1.

They provide an excellent opportunity to investigate the relative roles played by climate and tectonics in sedimentary processes. The tectono-sedimentary organization of these deposits is revised in the light of an integrated study combining data from field investigations, sedimentology, bio- and magnetostratigraphy, radiometric dating, palaeoecology, and palynology. Three lithostratigraphic units are recognised: the Rhodes Formation, the newly defined Ladiko–Tsampika Formation, and the Lindos Acropolis Formation. A major erosional surface separates the Rhodes Formation from the Ladiko–Tsampika Formation, which was deposited in deep and narrow palaeovalleys.

KARAMAN, 1950 (FAM. NIPHARGIDAE) IN RHODOS ISLAND, GREECE (CONTRIBUTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE AMPHIPODA 296) SUMMARY The partially known species Niphargus rhodi S. Karaman, 1950b (Amphipoda, fam. Niphargidae) was described based on one female from the subterranean waters of Rhodos Island ["(spring on the Propheta Mt. (?Elias?)" (? = Profitis Ilias)], and later only mentioned by Pesce & Maggi (1983) for several localities of this island accompanied sometimes with amphipods Bogidiella longiflagellum S. Kar. 1959 or Medigidiella chappuisi (Ruffo, 1952). This species, discovered and collected in numerous localities on Rhodos Island by various scientists, is now redescribed and figured, and its variability and relation to other members of genus Niphargus of Greece and some adjacent regions is discussed. Keywords: taxonomy, redescription, Niphargus rhodi, Rhodos Island, Greece, subterranean. INTRODUCTION The freshwater fauna of Amphipoda in Greece has been studied for long time by various scientist and expedition (C. Bou, S. Karaman, S. Ruffo, A. Vigna-Taglianti, J. Stoch, G. Karaman, etc.) and numerous taxa were discovered and described belonging to various Amphipoda families [Ingolfiellidae, Bogidiellidae, Crangonictidae, Salentinellidae, Gammaridae, Hadziidae, Niphargidae, etc.]. Among them the most numerous taxa belong to the family Niphargidae (genera Niphargus Schiödte, 1849, Exniphargus G. Karaman, 2016b, Niphargobatoides G. Karaman, 2016b), i. e. to the genus Niphargus (nearly 15 taxa), almost all highly endemic. Despite the fact that the subterranean fauna of the family Niphargidae in Greece was studied since 1934, when S.

  • Rhodes Island
    RHODES ISLAND Rhodes town is the largest settlement and capital city of the island. It is famous as the ancient site of the Colossus (c 280BC), one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and as the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe. Rhodes was declared a World Heritage City by UNESCO in 1988. Now about 6000 people live and work in the same buildings the Knights of St. John lived in six centuries ago. The total population of the city is roughly 100 000. Rhodes is one of the largest and most fertile of the Greek Islands, and is one of the most visited because of its combination of beaches, archaeological sites, and extensive medieval town. The climate is particularly good, with the weather typically sunny and mild. The island is usually counted as one of the Dodecanese, but due to its importance for travelers is considered separately here. The rock-rose is so prolific here that it has been named the 'Island of Roses,' though modern scholars doubt the ancient theory that the island's name comes from the Greek word for rose. While the northern coast is renowned for its lively tourist resorts the south offers tranquil beaches and a slower, simpler pace of life. Harbour gates in Rhodes city The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek titan-god of the sun Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the Greek island of the same name, by Chares of Lindos in 280 BC. One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was constructed to celebrate Rhodes' victory over the ruler of Cyprus, Antigonus I Monophthalmus, whose son unsuccessfully besieged Rhodes in 305 BC.

  • Assessment of Groundwater Vulnerability in the North Aquifer Area of Rhodes Island Using the GALDIT Method and GIS
    environments Article Assessment of Groundwater Vulnerability in the North Aquifer Area of Rhodes Island Using the GALDIT Method and GIS Zografina Mavriou 1, Nerantzis Kazakis 2 and Fotios-Konstantinos Pliakas 3,* 1 Laboratory of Wastewater Management and Treatment Technologies, Department of Environmental Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, 67100 Xanthi, Greece; [email protected] 2 Laboratory of Applied Geophysics, Department of Geology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] 3 Engineering Geology Laboratory, Department of Civil Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, 67100 Xanthi, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-25410-79695 Received: 1 May 2019; Accepted: 21 May 2019; Published: 24 May 2019 Abstract: Salinization of coastal aquifer systems constitutes a major threat for groundwater. Especially areas with high population density due to increasing tourist activity may face severe problems. In this study, the GALDIT method was applied in the north side of Rhodes Island, Greece, in order to assess groundwater vulnerability to seawater intrusion. Hydrogeological data were elaborated in geographical information systems (GIS), and appropriate thematic maps were produced. The final vulnerability map was obtained from the combination of the thematic maps using overlying techniques. Based on the application of the GALDIT method, a zone up to 1000 m from the shore is characterized by medium to high vulnerability, while medium vulnerability characterizes the eastern part of the study area. Overexploitation of the aquifer, due to the intense touristic activity in Ialysos area, constitutes the main reason for groundwater salinization due to seawater intrusion in the study area. Consequently, planning of proper groundwater management and systematic monitoring of the groundwater reserves are of the utmost importance in order to solve existing problems and prevent future issues of salinization.

Species diversity in different areas and on different scales is summarised in five maps. A list of new taxa described during this period is provided, together with their type citations and taxonomic comments where relevant; almost all of the taxa are based on Greek plant material.

Elaborate pebble mosaic floors, an integral part of the Dodecanesian tradition. The Dodecanese The Dodecanese island group is in the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea, the sunniest corner of Greece; it comprises twelve large islands and numerous smaller ones, each one with a different character. You will find fantastic beaches, archeological sites of great historical impor- tance, imposing Byzantine and Medieval monuments, traditional villag- es and architectural gems that date to the Italian Occupation. The Do- decanese have long been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Mediterranean. Rhodes and Kos, are among the largest islands of the group and the two most popular ones. Karpathos, Patmos, Leros, Symi, Kalymnos, and Astypalaia have managed to keep their traditional flavour despite the fact that large numbers of tourists visit them. The smaller islands, with lower rates of growth, like Tilos, Nisyros, Leipsoi, Chalki, Kasos, Kastel- lorizo, Agathonisi, Telendos and Pserimos are a fine choice for relaxed and peaceful holidays. These islands have a rich and very long history. They have known pirate 2.
