Water Crisis in Southern Cyprus: New Steps Being Taken to Combat the Issue
Southern Cyprus is facing a water crisis similar to the one it experienced in 2008, with the government continuing its efforts to address the water shortage by establishing both permanent and mobile water purification facilities.
It has been reported that international bids are being evaluated for floating plants, with the areas of Paphos and Limassol expected to be the most affected by drought.
According to Fileleftheros, significant efforts are being made to strengthen the island’s infrastructure for water treatment facilities to ensure water availability. Recent developments indicate that Southern Cyprus is moving forward with plans to set up permanent, mobile, floating, and land-based water purification plants to meet its increasing drinking water needs for 2026 and beyond.
The newspaper noted that the Water Department in Southern Cyprus has received proposals from 53 international economic entities for the development of floating water purification plants to be placed at strategic coastal locations. These proposals are currently under review.
In a press conference held yesterday regarding measures to combat water scarcity, Greek Cypriot Minister of Agriculture, Maris Panayotu, did not hide or sugarcoat the situation. Panayotu acknowledged that Paphos and Limassol are likely to be the first cities to feel the effects of the drought and stated that the initial measures will focus on these two areas.
Politis newspaper also reported that the coming months will be difficult due to the ongoing drought.
