List of dams and reservoirs in Cyprus
Cyprus has a total of 108 dams and reservoirs,[1] with a total water storage capacity of about 330,000,000 m3. 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.
