CYPRUS IS DESPERATE FOR WATER, BUT WASTES WHAT IT ALREADY HAS

Treated wastewater that could help farmers and protect drinking water supplies is being lost, as authorities argue over the scale of the problem.

At a time when climate change is reshaping the way countries collect and manage water resources, Cyprus is facing a major contradiction: the island is struggling with water shortages while millions of cubic meters of treated wastewater remain unused.

Water losses from aging networks are only one part of the problem. A much bigger long-standing issue is the failure to fully use the water produced from sewage treatment plants across Cyprus.

RED ALERT FOR FOREST FIRE RISK TO REMAIN IN EFFECT FRIDAY - Cy Mail 23/7 by Oliver Wu

A red alert for forest fire risk will remain active on Friday, the forestry department said on Thursday.

The status has been maintained since Tuesday, with high summer temperatures being felt across the island.

The department urged people to “exercise extreme caution during outdoor excursions” and to avoid doing anything which could potentially cause a fire. It added that causing a fire would be a criminal offense which entails harsh penalties.

Temperatures on Thursday are set to be the highest of the year, and a work stoppage for outdoor heavy and moderate work is in place between noon and 4pm.

Anyone who notices a fire should immediately report it by calling 1407 for the forestry department or 112 for the fire brigade, the department said.
