EXERGIA, due to its establishment in Greece, is fully aware of the particularities of the area of Southeastern Europe and the Mediterranean, typically characterized by scarce water resources, limited and expensive land, overpopulated coastal and insular areas and heavy reliance on tourism – all of which challenge the traditional methods of water management. The company has been able through the years to work in partnership with local people and put forward innovative approaches adapted to the local conditions.
