Briefings

The Portuguese government announced in October 2026 that the 'Água que une' project will advance water supply to the southern Tejo margin starting at the Castelo do Bode dam in the Zéu River, with a 2027 operational goal. This initiative includes supplying water to Sines industrial zone and expanding desalination infrastructure in the Algarve, alongside new dam construction plans in the Ocreza River and Alportel/Foupana dams. Environmental protections for the Iberian lynx and seabirds were also highlighted, with coastal restoration projects targeting 30% marine protected area expansion by 2030.
