The Government assigned a 120-day deadline to find a solution for the water shortage on the south bank. This decision comes as a response to the water crisis affecting that region.
The Minister of Environment is the central figure in this resolution process. She publicly recognized the difficulties and admitted that she is considering various options to solve the problem.
Among the solutions under analysis, the minister admitted resorting to the Castelo de Bode reservoir, the Tagus River, or a combination of both water sources. These sources are seen as the most viable alternatives to ensure supply.
The article does not specify the causes of the water shortage nor which municipalities or populations are affected. It merely presents the established deadline and the options considered by the authorities to resolve the situation.
