Cyprus is short of surface water and groundwater due to inadequate rainfall. The project aims to supply Northern Cyprus with water from Turkey for a timespan of 50 years. Of the 75 million m 3 water, 37.76 million m 3 (50.3%) will be used for drinking purposes and the remaining part (49.7%) will be allocated for irrigation.
Cyprus has a total of 108 dams and reservoirs, [1] with a total water storage capacity of about 330,000,000 m 3. 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.

Construction on main works for the dam began on 30 March 2012 and it was completed on 7 March 2014.
