I was in Cyprus two weeks ago, and all reservoirs were full and the desalinators working like clockwork.

To say it in French: nous n'avons pas besoin de faire une pipe pour boire l'eau. You can do so if you like, it will clinch your Enosis with Turkey in a symbolically significant manner.

...facts are Turkey is suffering a drought; what if the pipeline is not all it is meant to be?

...question is: is the capacity of the water desalinators in Cyprus, enough to supply water to all Cypriots?

...maybe Turkey plans to pay her war debt to Cypriots, with water. or maybe, she will buy gas in trade, likely, the water is for the cucumbers the settlers will grow in the Karpas, for "them", and for their friends who will have a mind to exploit, "its untouched beauty". Turkish Cypriots, will have little to be happy about, except that there will be water to drink; another thought comes to mind, what of the infra-structure as it is, is it sound? and if the success of this project depends on new infra-structure, I ask (of this infra-structure), to where?

rw terkey is not suffering drought, dont believe all the crap charlui writes. terkey is a vast country it just happens that istanbul may be suffering a shortage. there is plenty of water for everybody.

[Get Real!]

It’s gonna take an enormous amount of power to build enough pressure to push that much water across 45 odd miles… maybe a desalination plant would’ve been the better option.

i don't count on bill, although i appreciate that his information is news, and accurate for the most part. can't say the same about you.

...before you are so quick to believe what you want to believe, Lordo, do some research yourself, i would find it interesting if you can provide a credible source that does not state the fact which i am merely repeating. most important, in my mind, because even if the pipeline is built, this water is not "free", and there is less of it at the moment, and for the foreseeable future, is management of the water, (and of the infra-structure), which is evidently lacking (and has been lacking since the regime in the north took on these responsibilities). you are apparently living in denial, satisfied in your own delusion simply because there is (or will be) water to drink.

if i was you, i would not put all my hopes in Turkey, it would be a good idea to look south and ask yourself, why Turkey, such a magnificent country, cannot compete with a small handful of "Greeks", comparing "North" and south on this island.

@ GR; one word, gravity, "they" will tell you.

[gardash]

It won't require enormous amounts of power to push the water through the pipe - gravity will do that,as the reservoir in Turkey is higher than the one in TRNC. Imagine 2 bowls of water connected by a hose. Keep the bowls level and the water will stay level. Raise or lower one bowl and watch the water flow from the upper bowl to the lower bowl.
It ain't rocket science, but it is physics.

[gardash]

All over TRNC water pipes of various diameters are being laid linking the various towns together. Wherever you go in TRNC you can see miles of these pipes waiting to be buried. Thus the infrastructure is being updated.

[Lordo]

and i suspect all paid for by the eu. long live the eu.

For once you're prob right, Turdo.

Bring water from 50 miles away,under the sea, where it will be tethered 250 ft above the sea floor then bringing it to shore and forcing it up a mountain. It's never been done and physics says it can't be done. What you people are discussing is nonsense...and for the infrastructure upgrade funded by the EU is just an upgrade and it doesn't prove a pipeline is coming..
