Cyprus Faces Water Emergency Due to Low Reservoir Levels
January 23, 2026
Cyprus is entering a water emergency, as recent rains and snow have not been able to replenish the reservoirs. A 10% reduction in water consumption per household is now necessary to avoid cuts in water supply. This situation has led the government to approve a new emergency package of 31 million euros. The Minister of Agriculture emphasizes the need for investments in infrastructure and desalination projects. If the situation continues, reservoirs may run dry before August.
