Water Quality

Water quality is classified according to Decreto-Lei 135/2009 (amended by Decreto-Lei 113/2012). No days of bathing prohibition or advisement due to short-term pollution occurred during the 2024 bathing season.

Risks

Short-term pollution is unlikely but may occur during precipitation events due to microbiological load in the river, or from failures in upstream sanitation infrastructure. Faecal contamination is a potential microbiological pollution source. Cyanobacteria, macroalgae, and phytoplankton proliferation are all unlikely.
