North Cyprus: Turkish pipeline to pump water from July - It will carry 75 mln cubic meters of drinking water annually.
An 80km under-sea pipeline, 120 metres beneath the Mediterranean, will start pumping water from Turkey to occupied northern Cyprus in July as Famagusta Gazette online reports.
The pipeline will supply 75 million cubic meters of water annually from Turkey.
The water coming from Turkey will be stored in a dam near Keryneia.
The laying of the foundation stone of the Alakopru Dam, which was the first leg of the project, took place in 2009. "Its primary aim is to provide quality water to the Turkish Cypriot people and to secure that this is sold in reasonable prices", Turkish ambassador Halil Ibrahim Akca said yesterday.
He added that the plan is for this water to be filtered after its use in order to be used again in agricultural production, but some problems exist on this issue.
