“Government Priority is Permanent Water Solution” – Audit Office Report is Useful, Says Ministry of Agriculture

The Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment states that the permanent solution of the water issue is a priority of the Government, with the aim of independence from weather conditions and ensuring sustainable agriculture. It considers the Audit Office report useful, which confirms the correctness of the government's decision to terminate the reduced use of desalination during years of high rainfall. The Ministry is already conducting a study to revise water policy and adapt agriculture to the new data of climate change, through funding permanent infrastructure and utilizing technology. It is also promoting the use of recycled water, as Cyprus has been in a state of infringement since 2012.
