Water Management in Cyprus
2 January 22-‐23, 2013 Center for Mediterranean Integra2on Marseille, France
Recent Water SituaCon in Cyprus Gradual change in the climate Substantial decrease in annual rainfall >20% Reduction in the runoff into the reservoirs > 40% Periods of low rainfall are becoming more frequent Demand is continuously increasing Frequent periods of low or no rainfall :1991-92,1997-2000, 2008-09
Government forced to apply water restriction measures o Drastic water cuts in irrigation o Severe restrictions to domestic water supply
Add Water to the National Balance: o Construction of Desalination plants: 60Mm3 (75% of total potable needs)
o Use of treated effluent in agriculture: 10Mm3 (5% of total irrigation needs)
Need for water conservation and leakage management

Is a conCnuous acCvity Is an integral part of distribuCon network management
Is based on a long term strategy
Is cost effecCve especially in water scarce areas
HOWEVER ITS SUCCESS DEPENDS:
On commitment and dedicaCon at all levels
AdopCon of appropriate methodologies and technologies
Use of appropriate and reliable indicators for benchmarking, such as : litres/service connecCon /day and ILI

Network Design and
Development
7 January 22-‐23, 2013 Center for Mediterranean Integra2on Marseille, France
Major Network Developments Water Board of Lemesos
1986 - 1990 • Major expansion of storage and supply network • Establishment of pressure zones and DMA • Installation of SCADA system
1991 -1993 • Pressure reduction study • Installation of PRVs in 8 out of 27 DMAs
1994 - 1995 • Digitization of all maps of the water distribution system
1997 - 1998 • Review of the leakage control activities by external consultant • Recommendations for the establishment of a leakage management
policy
1999 - to date • DMA re-design and pressure management • Use of advanced technology in DMA monitoring and leak detection • Adoption of IWA WLTF “best practice” approach to NRW management

Key ConsideraCons
DMA categories Small : <1000 properties Medium : 1000 – 3000 properties Large : 3000 – 5000 properties
Factors considered in DMA design Minimum variation in ground level Single entry point into the DMA Well defined DMA boundaries Area meters correctly sized and located Apply pressure management Continuous monitoring
