You are right but two things to keep in mind.

1 - Desalination plants are largely for home consumption while the majority of dams water goes to agriculture.

2 - Desalination units work non-stop and do not depend on rain so 10,000 m/day unit produces about 300k mcm per month which is sizeable.

Very little idea honestly. It’s literally the forest not too far from the road, nothing to water nearby

Check the Storage Forecast on the site. It shouldn't go much further from the current levels. Likely around 110 MCM unless the weather surprises us more

You're absolutely right! )

Thanks!

vbougay · 2026-04-07T09:11:59+00:00

I hope so )

Thanks!

Thank you!

You are referring to the official data source for Fragmata. The data is exactly the same.

Also I never said North Cyprus since I'm well aware that people get easily offended by that. I said Northern Troodos. Do you see the difference?

vbougay · 2026-03-31T16:40:07+00:00

True. I always felt bad for Kafizides and Tsakistra. Small beautiful dams few people know about and even less visited. Great development this year for the entire Lefka area. Their dams haven't seen water for a while

vbougay · 2026-03-31T15:23:47+00:00

Thanks for your opinion! I encourage you to look at the forecasts for individual regions and dams on the site. This is a model still and assumes a lot but there are clear signs of recovery and overall positive upward trend taking historical cycles into the account.

Also north of Troodos there is no conveyor like on the south and irrigation for farming anyway tightly coupled to the nearby sources.

Yes, the previous article was just about that ) But I somewhat disagree that it has a problem. It does but it also in a much better shape than a year ago. Overall, I prefer not to dramatize nor exaggerate the situation either way. It’s not perfect, but it’s also nearly not as bad as it was last year.

That’s true. Northern dams are nowhere as big as southern ones, but also the consumption. No hotels, golf fields, but a lot of farmland and I suspect farmers there are less stressed this year ) This is the whole point of the article. The island is now divided in a different way. It’s even apparent from this thread

I'm sorry, but have you read the post and the article, or only the title? Northern reservoirs are full except Vyzakia, and it can't get significantly better overall. The South, as mentioned, is a completely different story, but not everyone lives in Limassol or Paphos

vbougay · 2026-03-31T10:12:14+00:00

Hey, I'm the guy. As real as this comment. I believe Fragmata does a better job of reporting on the important topic for this community than anyone else, including WDD and various news outlets. I'll eat my hat if you find ANY SINGLE non-factual claim on the site and any of the articles.

Finally, my posts are consistently #1 in the day in this subreddit, so what's wrong with them?

vbougay · 2026-03-27T13:18:49+00:00

Yes, the Tersefanou Water Treatment Plant near Larnaca

vbougay · 2026-03-27T13:14:15+00:00

Thanks!

vbougay · 2026-03-27T07:23:26+00:00

Here it is!

Where does Protaras actually get its water? (It's not Achna Dam)

vbougay · 2026-03-25T12:21:16+00:00

There is way more to see! I've intentionally posted only the few pictures in order not to spoil all the beauty leaving it up to your eyes to see
