Cyprus to allow private individuals to install desalination units

The government of Cyprus has approved a guide which allows private individuals to install desalination plants of up to 1,500 m3/d. The guide provides for a “flexible and swift” approvals process that takes no more than a month, and determines where facilities can be located.  The move intends to help meet demand from water consumers including farmers, and operators of hotels, golf courses, and water parks.
