Filling Dams, Overflowing Responsibilities…

The article addresses the ongoing water crisis in Cyprus, despite recent rainfall. Although dams have filled to some extent, the distance to full sufficiency remains significant, resulting in continued risk of cuts to irrigation and water supply. The article emphasizes the need for a radical revision of water management policy, with investments in modern infrastructure, such as micro-dams, recycled water networks, and modernized water supply networks. The inadequacy of the existing system is highlighted, and the need for Cyprus to not rely solely on rainfall, but to have a comprehensive plan to address climate change and drought is stressed.
