Cyprus expects dam water levels to exceed previous year's figures

Marios Hatzikostis, a chief technical engineer at the Water Development Department, stated that water inflow to Cyprus dams has significantly increased. Over the last three days, two million cubic meters of water have entered the reservoirs, following a previous rate of approximately 200,000 cubic meters per day. Authorities estimate a 99% probability of exceeding last year's low water reserves. This progress is notable given that the inflows from October to December were the lowest in a decade, totaling only two million cubic meters. Forecasts of rain from Thursday through the end of March are expected to maintain an inflow of over one million cubic meters per day. Consequently, officials believe the water supply situation will be less difficult than initially anticipated. Cyprus is now on track to surpass the 25% dam capacity recorded at this time last year.
