Water Usage Restrictions Despite Improvements in Reservoir Levels
May 3, 2026
Despite significant inflows of water into the reservoirs in Cyprus, the Water Development Department (WDD) is choosing to maintain restrictions on water usage. The situation is still critical, with high demands for both water supply and irrigation. Although the reservoirs have shown improvements in their levels, the WDD warns that water crises have not been overcome. Water management for the upcoming months will be reviewed by the Cabinet, aiming for a sustainable water policy. Careful interpretation of the data is needed, as the situation remains delicate.
