Cyprus's council of ministers has authorized an additional 3.5 million cubic metres of water for agricultural irrigation. This allocation includes 2 million cubic metres for the Paphos area and 1.5 million cubic metres for the southern conveyor project. The Ministry of Agriculture stated that the redistribution of water reserves is informed by current hydrological data and a reassessment of regional irrigation demands.
These adjustments are part of a three-year strategic plan designed to combat water scarcity and guarantee water security through 2026. The government is implementing various measures, such as desalination plants, leak reduction in water networks, and the use of recycled water, to meet the needs of both the public and the farming sector.
This decision is crucial for ensuring the agricultural sector's water needs are met, thereby supporting food production and economic stability in the face of increasing water scarcity.
