Tragic Water Inflow into Cyprus Dams

The water inflow into Cyprus' dams is described as tragic, with only 1.7 million cubic meters collected since October 1st. The dams' capacity continues to decrease as consumption exceeds inflow. To improve the situation, significant and prolonged rainfall is needed, especially in mountainous areas and the drainage basins of the dams. This year is the fourth consecutive year with low water inflow, and there is concern about drought and its impact on agriculture. The public is urged to use water sparingly.
