- Assessment of the drainage network of the town of Eleousa, west of the river Axios
- Suggestion of measures to be taken for improvement of the operation conditions of the river, the safety of the embankments and the drainage network of Eleousa under the new conditions of the operation of the of SHP Eleousa
