Urgent Situation in Water Supply: Cuts and New Measures for Cyprus's Water Crisis
February 8, 2026
Cyprus is facing a serious water crisis, with reservoirs at only 13% capacity. The government has implemented €168 million in measures to prevent cuts in water supply, but a 10% reduction in water usage and a 33% cut in irrigation are still necessary. Rainfall has reached historically low levels, making the outlook for 2026 concerning. Authorities stress the need for immediate actions to manage the crisis effectively. Without intervention, restrictions will severely impact household water supply in the future.
