...whatever vp.

exactly repulse..

Turkey’s failure to coordinate with its Euphrates co-riparians with regards to this project raises questions of international law and the widely accepted customary international law principle of “good neighborliness” requiring cooperation and information sharing for projects impacting shared fresh water resources. While there is no current treaty framework governing the Euphrates, the Turkish/Syrian Mixed Economic Commission and the Trilateral Water Institute/Joint Technical Committee can provide a foundation upon which to build a collaborative institution facilitating information sharing and cooperation between Euphrates riparians. Participation of Iraqi, Syrian, and Kurdish riparians in any bulk water export would at least avoid the legal and diplomatic problems arising from the contemplated storage and pipeline project for Northern Cyprus.

Get to the punch line whats your point?

[repulsewarrior]

...even if Turkey's dream is realised next summer here in Cyprus, there is the "no friends" Policy she is pursuing to drive the cost of this water even higher.

...simply because the EU hires spies to build desalination plants, and Jews are not "Turkish" enough, more indications that this project is counting too much on political successes in realising its gains. water for the so called "TRNC", is propaganda.

Water Crisis in Cyprus and Climate Change

The small island of Cyprus is facing a fourth year of drought, with water reservoirs dwindling dry at less than 9% of original capacity. As a recent article on Reuters indicates, climate change is thought to be linked to the continued parched conditions.
Cyprus maintains a Mediterranean climate, with a rainy season between November and March of each year. Reservoirs, which supply the island with water, have time to refill during the rainy season. However, over the past four years, precipitation during winter months has been on the certain decline. The Meteorological Service of the Republic of Cyprus states:
Statistical analysis of rainfall in Cyprus reveals a decreasing trend of rainfall amounts in the last 30 year…The rate of decrease of the average precipitation in Cyprus during the 20th century was one millimeter per year.
For an island half of the size of Connecticut, residential population is approximately 788,457 people and over 2 million tourists visit the area each year. Cyprus provides water to most individuals using supply from the reservoirs, and supplements supply with two desalination plants. The current water crisis has forced the country to utilize emergency groundwater reserves, and a third temporary desalination plant will be on-line next year. As quoted from the Reuters article:
Desalination of seawater is not an ideal choice for the authorities, but it has saved Cyprus before. “We don’t desalinate lightly, without being aware of the consequences,” said Partassiades. “It is energy-consuming … and this causes (greenhouse gas) emissions Cyprus has to pay fines for.
Water restrictions have been put into effect on the island, until the situation improves, with a hope of rainfall to occur this winter.

Have things improved in the south?

[repulsewarrior]

...yes, i read this too, sort of dated because in essence there is excess capicity today, with dams full at record levels, and three times the capacity to produce the drinking water all Cypriots need.

things have improved in the south, and you are still idiots, the so called "TRNC", for showing yourselves not even able to pay bills, let alone act toward your betterment without selling yourselves out to a deep state.

...wake up vp, what are you really supporting?

Yes they have.

At the mo there are nearly 260,000 MILLION TONNES of water sitting in the reservoirs of the Republic. That's the equivalent of three years of inflow. The fruits of decades of investment in new dams and increased storage capacity and maintaining transmission pipes, something that is sadly lacking in "trnc", who feel they can quench people's thirsts with the pipe dream of "project of the century"...!!!

The larger dams in the Free Areas are at 100% of capacity and some are over-flowing.

... and that's with the de-sal plants on standby, having not been used since Summer 2011.

The conveyor system is ready to transfer water around the Free Areas from water-rich to water-poor areas.

VP as others already said yes we were lucky ever since the date of that article and we had a lot of rain the past 3-4 years. You live in Nicosia so I am sure you witnessed the raining yourself.
I suppose you know that the what you call "south" does supply the occupied Nicosia with water, so since you are living in Nicosia I don't think you will ever have problem.
It would be nice if the rest of Kibrislis could get additional water from Turkey, while i still hate the fact that it would mostly help the agricultural work of settlers.
In any eventuality be sure what you call "south" which is actually the free areas of the Republic cares about the Kibrislis and will never let you go thirsty, in case of emergency we will connect water pipes to your areas so you overcome the difficulty.

Pyro, are you for real? Paroligo, tha tou katevasis kai to panteloni sou kai na shipsis!

He produces a 4 year old article as propaganda material and proceeds to ask, 'have things improved ...'

Only an ignorant prick or a propaganda merchant would ask such daft a question. Can you not see through this tart, everything she has to say is derogatory to the RoC, no matter what we do good or bad.

VP, I would not piss in your ear if your brain was on fire, never mind give you water. Fortunately for you we have some softees this side.
