President of Larnaca Water Development Corporation on Drought: No Proper Planning by the Water Development Department

The President of the Larnaca Water Development Corporation, Angelos Chatzicharalambous, expressed concern about the impending drought in Cyprus, pointing out the lack of proper planning by the Water Development Department. He emphasized the need for citizen cooperation to conserve water in order to avoid cuts during the summer. Measures to address the drought were announced at a meeting at the Ministry of Agriculture, but Mr. Chatzicharalambous believes that better management of existing resources is needed. The Larnaca Water Development Corporation is taking immediate steps, such as identifying and repairing leaks, replacing supplies, and restricting water use in parks and green spaces. Information campaigns are also planned to raise public awareness about water conservation.
