  • Desalination should be a last resort due to high costs and potential losses.

  • Calls for more sustainable water management strategies in Algarve.

Algarve's Water Crisis and the Desalination Debate

The Environmental Association Zero has raised concerns regarding the construction of desalination plants, stating that such measures should be considered only as a last resort. According to Sara Correia, the financial investment required for these plants is substantial, yet they may still lead to significant losses.

This perspective comes amid ongoing discussions about the best solutions to address water scarcity in the Algarve region. The environmental organization emphasizes the need for more sustainable and effective water management strategies instead of relying on costly desalination technologies.
