An increase in the volume of fresh water and the illegal dumping of rubbish has created conditions that may lead to the gradual loss of Akrotiri’s wetland, chairman of the House environment committee Charalambos Theopemptou warned on Wednesday.
Environment Department director Theodoulos Mesimeris said rubbish had indeed been dumped and a fine of €20,000 had been imposed.
The environment committee MPs visited Makria lake, a few kilometres east of Akrotiri
