Report on dam safety is "reassuring"

Diário de Viseu10 September 2026 at 19:15

The report on dam safety in Portugal was considered "reassuring" by the responsible minister. The document presents data that convey a positive image regarding the safety of water infrastructure in the country.

The Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) is already carrying out field inspection visits. These monitoring actions aim to ensure compliance with current safety standards.

The APA's visits focus especially on agricultural areas where small dams are located. This specific focus is due to the proliferation of this type of structure in the country's interior, particularly in agricultural production zones.
