(Redirected from List of reservoirs and dams in Cyprus)

Cyprus has a total of 108 dams and reservoirs, with a total water storage capacity of about 330,000,000 m. Dams remain the principal source of water both for domestic and agricultural use. Water desalination plants are gradually being constructed in order to deal with recent years of prolonged drought.
