CYPRadar 🇨🇾🌦️ Cyprus to meet nearly all domestic water demand through desalination plants by next year
Cyprus is on track to have desalination plants cover almost 100% of its domestic water demand by next year, Agriculture Minister Maria Panayiotou announced during a visit to the Limassol plant. Currently, desalination provides approximately 80% of the country's drinking water, with new units expected to come online within the next 18 months, bringing total coverage close to full demand.
The government has rapidly expanded desalination capacity, adding four new units in two years to the five inherited from previous administrations. This expansion has helped prevent domestic water cuts despite ongoing supply pressures, although the irrigation sector continues to face challenges. Panayiotou highlighted efforts to ensure more reservoir water is allocated for agriculture and urged continued household water conservation.
To support these goals, Cyprus has launched the "Water for Tomorrow" campaign, distributing three million water-saving nozzles nationwide by the end of August to reduce household water consumption. While the completion of permanent plants is planned for 2029, temporary units are bridging the gap to secure domestic water supplies.
