Water Supply Crisis in Cyprus with Serious Challenges
March 14, 2026
Cyprus is in a state of emergency due to a water shortage, with a gap of 14 million cubic meters threatening the water supply. Weather conditions and delays in desalination projects have led to a dramatic situation. Water reserves are at record lows, with estimates of depletion before August unless urgent measures are taken. Experts suggest utilizing boreholes and starting mobile desalination units. Without significant water conservation efforts, cuts to water supply will be inevitable.
