Exploring Dierona’s Water Heritage
As part of the 2nd WatHer Project meeting held in Cyprus from 27-29 April 2026, project partners combined the meeting sessions with field visits to the Cypriot Pilot Sites.
On 27 April 2026, following the first day’s sessions, partners visited the Pilot Site in Dierona village, where they explored the historic stone bridge and the traditional watermill, important elements of the area’s water heritage landscape and the site where the Cyprus University of Technology will implement project activities.
Participants were guided through the area and introduced to the cultural, environmental and historical importance of the site, gaining valuable insight into the connection between water heritage, local communities and sustainable water management.
These field visits offered an important opportunity to connect the project’s discussions and research activities with the real-life challenges and heritage assets of the Mediterranean region.
