Arrived back from the MGS AGM a few days ago to daytime temps still in the mid to high 20 degrees C with no sign of rain in the offing. The dam shown in the photos above is at 3.2% of its capacity. At the same time last year it was at 47.9%. The largest dam in Cyprus, the Kouris, is at 10.3% capacity, the same time last year it was at 21.2%. The current average capacity of all the dams on the island stands at 20.3%, the same time last year it was at 40.5%. The total capacity of all the dams is 290.80 million cubic metres while the actual reserves presently stand at 59.099 million cubic metres. The island's 4 desalination plants are at full stretch and producing 220,000 cubic litres per day. It doesn't take much imagination to realize that if we don't get a substantial amount of rain, and soon, the situation could become desperate.
