The Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) is currently responsible for aquifer management, which includes monitoring the state of the aquifers, licensing new boreholes and drawing up management plans, which is done through the Administrations of the Hydrographic Region (ARH) of each zone of the country. Requests for private water abstraction can be made online through SILiAmb - Sistema Integrado de Licenciamento do Ambiente, as well as requests for prior information on the possibility of using water resources and requests for the issuance or renewal of licenses for the exercise of groundwater research and abstraction activities.

Due to the unavoidable scarcity of water in the region, there are several measures that residents of our resort can take to try to fight this scenario

One of these measures is the registration of subsoil water abstraction, known as boreholes, which is mandatory by law and punished with fines to landowners, if not carried out. The multiplication of unlicensed abstractions leads to the over-exploitation of water resources, making it difficult for the authorities to monitor them, which makes it more difficult to knowthe real availability of groundwater. For this reason, it is mandatory to request the use of water resources, contributing to a more effective control of the water stored in aquifers.

Consequences of the reduction in the level of aquifers

The aquifers most affected by saline infiltration are those on the coast, which happens in Vale do Lobo, where the water withdrawn is greater than the water that enters, allowing a greater saline intrusion. Recent analyzes allowed delimiting an area of 4.6 km2 currently affected by saline intrusion, which corresponds to approximately 14.4% of the subsystem of Vale do Lobo. Infralobo has invested in water management and efficiency tools to combat this scenario, such as the reuse of treated water and intelligent irrigation systems.
