Cyprus is facing a water crisis with reservoirs at only 43% capacity, down from 66.3% the previous year. The government is investing €1.17 billion in water projects, including a new desalination plant, to combat the challenges posed by dwindling water supplies.
The water crisis in Famagusta is dire, caused by a malfunction in the main pipeline to the Panagra reservoir, disrupting the water supply to the city. Efforts to restore the supply, including resuming water transportation and reviving the inoperative desalination plant, are underway to alleviate the scarcity in the region.
Cyprus is addressing water scarcity by implementing a strategic threeyear plan that includes targeted water cuts for agriculture and maximizing output from desalination plants. With water levels at a decade low, the government is prioritizing essential water usage and balancing conservation efforts for longterm sustainability.
