Argaka Dam Overflowing - TAU Appeals for Rational Water Use (vid)

The Argaka dam overflowed this morning due to recent rainfall in the Paphos province. The dam has a capacity of 990,000 cubic meters and is used for irrigation, in combination with other dams in the area. The Water Development Department calls on the public to use water rationally, despite the dam overflowing, as reserves remain at low levels. The overflow should not lead to complacency, as needs are increasing and rational management is essential.
