New walls were built in the Limassol mountains. They stop floods. This happened after big fires in July. Maria Panayiotou, the Minister, saw the walls. The walls are called gabion walls. They were finished in November.
The walls already stopped some rain. This helps the land. It stops floods after fires. A big fire burned for three days. It burned many trees. The ground became weak. Heavy rain could cause floods. The Ministry of Agriculture worked with others. They made 21 places stronger. This cost about €500,000.
The Minister was happy. She said the walls will work for a long time. The project was finished on time. The walls are ready for bad weather. This plan helps after the fire. It also helps with heavy rain.
They also talked about water for Cyprus. They want more water. They will improve old water sources. They will build more water plants. They will spend money on water pipes. People must save water. This is important.
The new walls give hope. They will build more if needed. This shows they are ready for problems. It shows nature and people can work together. We must be careful and plan.
