The change in water chemistry in the Axios River delta wetland is due to the interruption of river discharge in this area during the irrigation period. The impact, which visibly affects the wetland's flora, was verified by measuring water salinity in the delta area during the peak irrigation period.
## Abstract Due to increased population and urbanization, freshwater demand for domestic purposes has increased resulting in a smaller proportion for irrigation of crops.
