Frenaros just like the other kokkinohoria confronts a problem of water for the irrigation of the expanded watered cultivations especially those of the vegetables and citrus fruits. As a result of the too much use and exploitation there was an inflow of sea water in great depth in the water wagon layer and many drillings have been deserted .The application of the plan of the South Canal, the biggest watered work that has been ever done in Cyprus, decreased the problem of water in the area of Kokkinohoria with the irrigation of many plots from transformation of water from the dam of Kourri which is in Limassol district.
