The Environment Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and Environment, informs the public about the following:
The heavy rainfall of the last few days has led to increased water inflow into Lake Paralimni.
This phenomenon resulted in the arrival of more flamingos and other important birds in the area, highlighting the beauty and importance of Lake Paralimni as a wetland.
The reinstatement of the temporary dike within the protected area, the construction of which is intended to ensure the retention of an appropriate amount of water in the protected area of the lake during the spring season, will take place in due course, depending on conditions.
At the same time, the metal gate at the outflow channel under the Deryneia roundabout remains closed and any outflow observed relates to the overflow system.
The relevant departments are monitoring the weather conditions, as well as the inflows and outflows and the level of the lake, and are on standby to take any measures deemed necessary, for the protected area and to avoid disasters.
Finally, the public wishing to visit the area is asked to be particularly careful not to disturb the birds present in the lake.
