Given the nightmarish picture of tons of dead fish in Lake Karla in Pagasitikos, and with obvious adverse effects on the environment, public health, and the economic life of the prefecture, please conduct an urgent preliminary examination to investigate, inter alia, whether and why the barrage leading to the tunnel, which is the only outlet for the waters of the entire plain of Larissa-Karla to the Pagasitikos, should have been open and, in general, how the operation of the tunnel is regulated.

How is the system of how this system is operated and how is it organized?

How the system of how this system is operated and how the system is regulated.
To investigate further who decided to irrigate the above plain, how it was done, and whether or not they weighed the risk to the Pagasitikos from the continuous flow of the Karla into it.

To check also whether the barrage had to be closed at an earlier time, i.e. as soon as dead fish appeared in the Pagasitikos, or even earlier, in view of the low water level in the Karla.
