Risk of Water Scarcity and Supply Cuts in Cyprus
October 25, 2025
Cyprus is facing a critical hydrological situation, with water reserves at historically low levels. The Water Development Department warns of possible cuts to water supply and irrigation in 2026 if the drought continues. Areas dependent on the Southern Conveyance Scheme are particularly vulnerable. Farmers are urged not to plan new crops until water supply is secured. The Water Development Department is implementing an action plan to tackle water scarcity with government support.
