This document discusses water scarcity issues in Cyprus and potential solutions. It summarizes that Cyprus has had minimal rain for 3 years, causing reservoirs to be very low and water usage to be increasing 5-10% per year. Potential solutions discussed include desalination facilities, increased water treatment, improved agricultural/industrial efficiency, water tankers, and rationing. The document also discusses a company that installed a desalination plant in Cyprus within 10 months to help alleviate shortages.

Infrastructure operates short, medium and long
term contracts. We can offer terms of 3-months
to 3-year to fill ‘The Water Gap’ or a long term
