This initiative aims to bolster the Algarve's water supply amidst increasing concerns over sustainability and environmental impact. The interconnection of reservoirs will help ensure that water availability meets the demands of both residents and tourists, especially during peak seasons.

The government's proactive measures highlight the importance of cross-border cooperation in tackling water scarcity, a pressing issue for many regions in Portugal.
