Cyprus will depend more on desalination plants to meet its water needs as a string of dry winters has reduced amounts in 108 dams to just a quarter of their capacity.
NICOSIA, Cyprus — Cyprus will depend more on desalination plants to meet its water needs as a string of dry winters has reduced amounts in 108 dams to just a quarter of their capacity, the country’s agriculture and environment minister said Wednesday.
That’s in addition to the five desalination plants the east Mediterranean island nation currently has, each producing 235,000 cubic meters of fresh water daily. One is currently out of action due to an accidental fire. That is expected to be completed in about a decade and will double fresh water production from the current quantity to fully meet the island’s needs for decades to come, Panayiotou said.At UN climate talks, “sewage” beer from Singapore highlights water scarcity and innovations
According to Panayiotou, Cyprus has more dams relative to its population than any other country in Europe. She said climate change has resulted in more frequent dry winters, with the 2023-24 season being the driest in the last half century.The population of the internationally recognized south of Cyprus is a little under 1 million.
