We need more and more efficient desalination plants. Hopefully we will not have the same problem next year. :(

Small desalination plants, powered by solar panels yield 5 cubic meters per day, or more for the bigger models. And as Talisker said "Cyprus remains an island and is surrounded by water. "

Grey water systems cut down consumption by half.

But it is easier to bitch than to act.

That's not the problem though with desalination plants. The problem is the high maintenance costs.

Looks like Turkey will be piping water to TRNC soon - Five times more water capacity than what the TRNC actual needs is transportable and electric cables could be installed in the same pipeline.

I am sure they will supply the South as they supplies electricity when TRNC had issues with power station.
