President: Aim is Water Security for the Country

The President of the Republic, Nikos Christodoulides, stated that the government's goal is water security for Cyprus, through specific actions. Speaking at the inauguration of the 'Cleio' and 'Erato' reservoirs in Nicosia, he referred to plans to implement water projects worth over 200 million euros for the period 2024-2030. At the same time, he stressed the need to develop water awareness, as Cyprus has one of the highest water consumption rates in the EU, with some areas exceeding 500 liters per person per day. President Christodoulides pointed out that Cyprus is particularly affected by the climate crisis, with rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall.
