Small Hope for Cyprus Dams – Dry River Begins to Flow

A small but significant increase in water inflow to Cyprus' dams is being recorded, as the Dry River in Nata has begun to flow again, carrying water towards the Asprokremmos Dam. The flow, although reduced, offers a temporary glimmer of hope for strengthening water reserves. This development is particularly important, given that Cyprus' dams are in a critical state, with water levels below 10% of their total capacity. The Asprokremmos Dam, the second largest on the island, is one of those most affected by the drought. Until today, only 260,000 cubic meters of water have flowed into the Asprokremmos Dam since October 1st. Meteorologists estimate that the flow of the Dry River will continue for the next 24 hours, providing a small but valuable addition to water reserves. However, the situation remains worrying, and Cyprus continues to face a serious water scarcity problem. The continuation of rainfall is essential for the full recovery of water reserves. Overall, the river flow offers a temporary respite but underscores the ongoing need for rainfall to address the drought.
