There is an ever increasing conflict between the quarrying industry on the one hand and the conservation of the environment, agriculture and water resources on the other. Evidence is supplied, showing that the latter are being adversely affected to a considerable extent in the Kyrenia Range and in the river flood-plains. This is due to the absence of proper planning, a rapid increase in the demand for building materials and to a lack of strict control and supervision.
