Construction of New Reservoirs to Support Irrigation in Vathia Gonia
March 21, 2026
The Department of Water Development is planning an important project in the area of Vathia Gonia to build two new reservoirs with a total capacity of 3 million cubic meters. The project will cost 17 million euros and is funded by the European Union. The recovered water will come from the Mia Milia station and will support the irrigation needs of farmers in the area. Broader infrastructure projects amounting to 80 million euros are also expected to improve the irrigation network. Cooperation between the Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot communities is key to the success of this plan.
