The project is currently in the preliminary-study phase, and a public consultation is open until October 16, 2026, for those wishing to submit feedback.
Why it mattersIf you live in the eastern Algarve and are concerned about local water management or environmental policy, you have until October 16 to participate in the public consultation regarding this proposed infrastructure project.
