Contingency Plan for Water Resilience in Cyprus

October 22, 2025

Cyprus is facing significant water shortages, with reservoirs at only 11% capacity. A prolonged drought has led to a serious decrease in water reserves. To address this issue, new mobile desalination units are planned. These units will be installed in strategic locations, aiming to be operational before the summer of 2026. Without improvement in weather conditions, restrictions on irrigation and water supply may be necessary.
