It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we announce today this joint initiative between the Office of the Environment Commissioner, the Department of Forests and the Hellenic Bank, which aims at the rational management of water through the use of both technology and know-how possessed by the competent bodies of the state.

Dealing with the climate crisis that we have been experiencing in Cyprus in recent years is a top priority of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment. For this reason, we strongly support and encourage actions and initiatives such as the present one, which incorporate our Ministry's policy on green growth and the circular economy.

The reuse of water through the proper management of wastewater, the waste-free disposal of water, the use of modern technology to save energy and water, environmental education and awareness-raising aimed at changing attitudes and the enhancement of forest recreation within the cities, are the main pillars of our Ministry's policy.

In addition to the above, I would like to emphasize that it is proven once again in practice that cooperation between public and private actors yields excellent results for the common benefit of all of us.

In conclusion, I would like to thank the Commissioner for the Environment, the Forestry Department and the Hellenic Bank and congratulate them for this initiative.

At the same time I would like to thank the Department of Water Development and the Technical Services of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth for supporting this effort.

I wish every success to the project announced today and I am sure that upon its completion it will serve as an example for the rest of the parks in Cyprus.
