Verification of Vulnerable Zones Identified Under the Nitrate Directive \ and Sensitive Areas Identified Under the Urban Waste W
CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) 1 1.2 THE NITRATES DIRECTIVE (91/676/EEC) 3 1.3 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 4 2 THE OFFICIAL GREEK DESIGNATION PROCESS 9 2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE CURRENT SITUATION IN GREECE 9 2.2 OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF SENSITIVE AREAS 10 2.3 OFFICIAL DESIGNATION OF VULNERABLE ZONES 14 1 INTRODUCTION This report is a review of the areas designated as Sensitive Areas in conformity with the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC and Vulnerable Zones in conformity with the Nitrates Directive 91/676/EEC in Greece. The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge. -
Applying the Inqua Scale to the Sofades 1954, Central Greece, Earthquake
Δελτίο της Ελληνικής Γεωλογικής Εταιρίας τομ. ΧΧΧΧ, Bulletin of the Geological Society of Greece vol. XXXX, 2007 2007 Proceedings of the 11th International Congress, Athens, May, Πρακτικά 11ου Διεθνούς Συνεδρίου, Αθήνα, Μάιος 2007 2007 APPLYING THE INQUA SCALE TO THE SOFADES 1954, CENTRAL GREECE, EARTHQUAKE Papathanassiou G.1, Valkaniotis S.1,2, and Pavlides S.1 1 Aristotle University of Thes Saloniki, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Geology, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2 National Observatory of Athens, Geodynamic Institute Abstract Macroseismic intensity scales are used in order to measure the size of an earth quake using the impact of the ground shaking on humans, man made environment and nature. The INQUA scale is a new scale based solely on the earthquake-induced ground deformations, proposed by the INQUA Subcommission on Paleoseismicity. This scale is applied to the Sofades 1954 earthquake in order to test its accuracy and reliability. From the comparison among the evaluated intensities based on MM scale with the degrees of INQUA intensity at several locations, we conclude that, in case of earthquakes which triggered remarkable geological effects, these intensity values are about the same. Nonetheless, the use of INQUA scale is suggested in combination with the existing ones, as an assessing tool of the intensity based only on geological effects Key words: Intensity, Earthquake, INQUA, Greece.

The 2018 Report is extremely important to us, as 2018 signals the operational completion of our project, and during this year: A) Both the construction and the full operation of the Ionia Odos motorway have been completed, a project linking 2 Regions, 4 prefectures and 10 Municipalities, giving a boost to development not only in Western Greece and Epirus, but in the whole country, B) Significant infrastructure upgrade projects have also been designed, implemented and completed at the A.TH.E Motorway section from Metamorphosis in Attica to Scarfia, a section we operate, maintain and manage. During the first year of the full operation of the motorways - with 500 employees in management and operation, with more than 350 kilometres of modern, safe motorways in 7 prefectures of our country with a multitude of local communities - we incorporated in our daily operations actions, activities and programs we had designed, aiming at supporting and implementing the key strategic and development pillars of our company for the upcoming years. -

There are around 2000 islands altogether, although only 227 of these are inhabited. BACK www.planbee.com NEXT Greece has an area of around 131,940 square kilometres. This is the same as 50,502 square miles. The largest Greek island is Crete with an area of 8260 square kilometres (3190 square miles). Greece has the twelfth longest coastline in the world and the longest overall in Europe. The total length of the Greek coastline is 13,676 km (8498 miles). BACK www.planbee.com NEXT Greece is one of the most mountainous countries in Europe. Around 60% of Greece is covered by mountains.

METEORA. BY THE REV. A. H. CRUICKSHANK. PLATES II. AND III. A VISIT to the monasteries of Meteora is easier now than in 1834, when Curzon, escorted by a party of " klephts," reached them from the North. One feels, in reading the account of his rapid passage from Corfu to the valley of the upper Peneus and back again, that it was touch and go in those days. Now the traveller can approach Meteora by the railway, the chief outward and visible sign of improvement in the region assigned to Hellas by the Treaty of Berlin. To any one who has the time to spare I can strongly recommend a week in Thessaly, as it contains several objects of first-rate interest, and is in many respects unlike the rest of Greece. The population is largely Wallachian, and their bronzed shaggy faces suggest the uncomfortable thought, that the veneer of civilisation is even thinner than elsewhere in these parts. -

Es sind besondere Inseln, auf denen die Geschichte eindringlich ihre Spuren hinterlassen hat, lebende Organismen eines vielseitigen kulturellen Wirkens, das sich in Volksfesten und Traditionen, darstellender und bildender Kunst, Produkten und Praktiken sowie in der Architektur des strukturierten Raumes ausdrückt.
