Lovely Rain

Cyprus seems to be getting lots of rain at the moment, is it enough to rescue the reservoirs for 2009?

The latest figure I have heard is that the dams are at 15% of total capacity. This is better than it was, but is still not very much and will probably not get us through a long, hot summer without tight water restrictions. We still need more rain. It is frustrating after there has been a lot of decent rain to hear that we are not out of the woods yet. It is nice to see the countryside looking so green, though.
