Water Development Department

The basic objective of the Pafos Irrigation Project is the development of the water resources of the Pafos district for the irrigation of the coastal plain of Pafos between Chapotami river and Agios Georgios Pegias.

The project started in 1976 and was completed in 1982 at a total cost of C£25 million. It includes the construction of Asprokremmos dam on Xeropotamos river, the main canal and the western main conveyor, pumping stations, reservoirs, irrigation networks and borehole schemes.

Furthermore land consolidation has been applied on an area of about 45% of the total irrigated area, rural roads have been constructed and the Pafos Agricultural Training Centre has been established for the training of farmers, mainly on matters of irrigated agriculture
