A tender for a mobile water desalination unit in Paphos is expected to be announced soon, agriculture ministry director Andreas Gregoriou said on Monday.
The announcement follows a catastrophic leak at the Mavrokolympos dam over the weekend, which local authorities have described as “disastrous”. Approximately 1.3 million cubic metres of water are anticipated to be lost due to the leak, compounding the water shortage already affecting residents and farmers islandwide.
