I feel really guilty....

I am staying in what was traditionally a most arid part of the country, but there have been no water cuts or lowering of water pressure since I have been here and I have been a major heavy user .... some of my long-standing UK habits (although water shortages there were of prime consideration even on contradioctionarily days of major floods ) will have to alter....

I will do my bit and not wash dishes under copious running water, shower more than once a day or drink too much water, .... wine much more ecologically friendly ....

Eh??? Is this a scientific word?

Phoenix you have only been here for just over a week, I'm sure you can amend your ways and be forgiven. I told my cleaner not to hose down the patios, lead balloon!!! It's a hopeless case.

It is worrying that there have been no water cuts. I am collecting bottled water just in case.

My mother, who is here with me, will not stop and desist from watering down the veranda and street to keep the dust down .....

Has any one thought of using sea water in swimming pools?There are hundreds of hotels with swimming pools and if you take into account the private houses with swimming pools as well as the communal ones they must run into thousands.I know this method is used abroad with success.The saving might not be much,but I am sure it will be a step in the right direction

We live right next to the sea and my son wants a pool so this was something I considered.

But I don't know how practical it would be to pump water any distance for the majority of people who are not resident in close proximity to the sea .....

Phoenix, no excuse, you are always on this forum so you know about the impending water shortage.
Make her - hide the hosepipe! Then educate her and the rest of your family. I kid you not, this is serious. No rain, no water. You may be going back home earlier than you think.

Same goes to you Niki mou, take away their tools and they cannot use the water. Better still, tell her she will not get paid, that will stop her..............................
This is a mega serious issue. I am conserving all the water I can and you two are litterally letting it go down the drain.
WAKE UP NOW!!!

Perhaps the Cyprus water authority could raise awareness to the issue by targetting the huge amounts of water flushed down the dunnies- "If it's yellow..mellow, if it's brown flush it down"

Remember Niki that Phoenix corrected English language use for postgraduates in top universities in Britain.
