Cyprus has a total of 109 dams and reservoirs, with a total water storage capacity of about 330,000,000 m3. Reservoirs 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.
