Agriculture and distribu�on of water in Portugal

Lots of water

Less water

Some�mes we feel that what

we do is just a sea drop,

but the ocean would be smaller

without that drop…

In order to understand the processes of water treatment, including residual waters from the sanita�on of the village, our team visited the wastewaters treatment plant located

in Póvoa de Lanhoso called “ETAR de Santo Emilião”. This sta�on has capacity to respond to a popula�on of 22 500 inhabitants. The final product is thrown in the “Nasceiros” river

which is an affluent from the “Ave” river.

These are not nice pictures to look at, but we intend to make people aware of what they are doing to water. Although the dirty waters cannot be thrown in rivers there are s$ll some illegal

discharges that bring to the surface empty plas�c bo:les, car wheels, VISA cards and so on…

Part of the job is being done by the wastewater treatment plant, but it’s up to you to avoid water pollu$on and start taking ac$on, thinking about a

sustainable future!
