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aquifers most affected by saline infiltration are those on the coast, which happens in Vale do Lobo, where the water withdrawn is greater than the water that enters, allowing a greater saline intrusion.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.
