| Abstract [eng] |
The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for water management systems worldwide, amplifying the demand for resilience, adaptability, and sustainability. This study investigates the multifaceted impacts of the pandemic on water consumption patterns and resource management strategies, focusing on a case study of a residential complex in Larnaca, Cyprus. Data spanning pre-pandemic, lockdown, and post-lockdown periods revealed a 40% surge in daily water consumption during the lockdown, driven by heightened hygiene practices, increased domestic activities, and prolonged home confinement. |
