| Résumé anglais |
Cyprus suffred in 1972-73 the worst drought ever registered since the beginning of meteorological observations in the island. This drought did not affect the island's economy and its population's standards of living as did the previous ones which are known through history : Cyprus enjoys nonadays better equipments and has easy external trade relations. With a special reference to the irrigated area of Morfou it is stressed that the local aquifers may be destroyed by over extraction because the boom of oranges' and grapefruits' cultivation was quicker than the implementation of a comprehensive plan prepared to enlarge the water shed and increase the aquifers' inputs : such a discrepancy may destroy the ecological balance.
