Challenges in Water Resource Management
June 12, 2026
The government is trying to tackle the threat of a potential water shortage, as increased consumption and issues with infrastructure projects create challenges. The goal is to fully meet water needs through desalination by 2027, but the situation is tough. Despite some improvements due to rainfall, reservoir levels remain low. Water consumption has not decreased; rather, it is increasing in areas like Limassol and Paphos. Delays and cancellations in desalination projects make the situation even more challenging.
