Calls Mount in Paphos for New Dams After Zero Inflow

Calls are growing in Paphos for the construction of two new dams, following the disappointing lack of water inflow into existing dams despite recent heavy rainfall. Residents recall the difficulties of 2025 with the destruction of the desalination plant and the drought. The construction of small dams on rivers crossing communities is proposed to prevent the loss of large amounts of water to the sea. These projects could be included in the Recovery and Resilience Plan.
