Portugal's dams currently have an average water storage of 77%, a value that contrasts with the drought trend recorded in other European Union countries. This information was provided by the president of the Portuguese Environment Agency (APA).
The APA official made this statement while warning about the drought situation affecting several European countries. However, Portugal's data demonstrates a different reality from that experienced across most of the continent.
This level of storage in Portuguese dams represents a favorable situation compared to the overall European landscape, where several countries face significant water scarcity problems. The APA did not specify which European countries are most affected by the drought.
The information about the 77% storage comes in a context where Portuguese authorities regularly monitor water levels in the country, with the APA being the body responsible for monitoring and communicating this data.
