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.
