Pomos reservoir records highest water level in Paphos district
Pomos reservoir is 67.8 per cent full, while Paphos water reserves total about 43.3 million cubic metres.
Paphos, Cyprus. The Pomos reservoir has the highest water level among Paphos district’s main reservoirs, at 67.8 per cent full, the Water Development Department announced on Wednesday. Authorities said water levels were higher than at the same time last year, with no immediate risk to domestic or irrigation supplies.
Reservoir levels
The Ayia Marina reservoir is 56 per cent full, followed by Argaka at 54.1 per cent.
Among the district’s larger reservoirs, Kannaviou is 44.7 per cent full, Evretos stands at 41 per cent and Asprokremmos at 37.6 per cent.
Mavrokolympos has the lowest level, at 34.2 per cent.
Water reserves and supply
Water Development Department executive engineer Alexios Frangescou told CNA that the main reservoirs in the district currently hold about 43.3 million cubic metres of water.
He attributed the improved levels to favourable inflows during the 2025 to 2026 hydrological year.
Despite the improvement, authorities are continuing to manage water reserves carefully. Paphos also relies on desalination plants and reclaimed water, which have become important sources alongside reservoir reserves.
