Cyprus is an island. It has a big problem with water. The water dams are half full. This is because the winter was very dry. The government is trying to help. They do not want a water crisis. Summer will be hot. People will need more water.
The Water Department said not much rain fell. The dams are very low. A leader said it is "tragic." Last year, Cyprus had almost no water. Experts think next year may be worse. Low water now means no extra water.
Summer will be hot soon. People will use more water. Cyprus is using more machines. These machines make sea water drinkable. Nine machines are working. Soon, twelve machines will work. This adds to the water we have.
Leaders are making plans. They want enough water for everyone. They also want people to use less water. Please save water. Take short showers. Fix leaking taps. Use less water for plants. Everyone must help.
The main reason is little rain. Cyprus is usually dry. But this winter was very dry. This made the water problem worse. We need good plans. People must also save water. The next months will be hard.
