WE MAY BE TIRED OF THE RAIN BUT WE MUST STILL CONSERVE WATER FOR FUTURE SAY FAMAGUSTA LAWYERS

Lawyers in Famagusta – Review – Cyprus Rainfall and water issues

Rain rain go away please come back another day…never thought we would be saying that! We wanted and needed major rainfall but a break would be nice some time soon. Smaller dams are overflowing and the main dams are now holding over 50% capacity.

Reports show we have not had this much rainfall in 8 years and the temperatures are also below usual. In short it is very very wet and very very cold. Even the UK is not complaining as much as we are right now.

We have had major problems with water shortage on the island and although the rainfall is continuous we still need more to keep the island ticking over comfortably, which means we still cannot take water for granted.

It has been such a long time since we have had so much rainfall and such cold temperatures it is actually hard to cope with. We cannot get out clothes dry and we are actually using more electric to keep warm and dry. The cost of electric means it is more beneficial to us to have drier warmer weather.

We really should not complain however, we should be rejoicing as we now have water in our dams and 200 years worth of energy we should thank ourselves very lucky.

We do need to reiterate that high usage of water is still forbidden and should be used as a precious commodity. Precautions should still be in place in conserving water no matter of so much rainfall.

Many scientists still believe that water will be very sparse in time to come and we must keep this in mind. No one knows what the future holds and as evident as the long period of rainfall is at the moment, the dry hot spells can come just as quick and as long!
