In Paphos, calls grow for new dams as zero water inflow raises concern

In the Paphos region, calls are intensifying for the construction of new reservoirs amid alarming data showing zero water inflow into existing dams.

According to local authorities and experts, the current situation with water resources is causing serious concern: reserve levels continue to decline, and the lack of inflow into key reservoirs threatens water supply, agriculture, and the region’s sustainability.

Municipalities and local organizations stress that the problem is systemic and requires long-term solutions rather than temporary measures. Proposals include building new dams, modernizing infrastructure, and revising water policy in light of climate change and prolonged drought.

Environmentalists and representatives of local communities warn that without strategic investment, Paphos could face a severe water crisis in the coming years.
