The Ministry of Environment and Climate Action yesterday announced a funding of 14 million Euros to improve the water supply in the Algarve.
The money will come from an envelope of 35 million Euros that is allocated for the water management component of the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR).
The entities managing the water supply networks in the Algarve region can thus benefit from non-repayable support. The financing will be 100%, for the renovation, rehabilitation and improvement of the operational management of the supply networks that ensure water savings.
The beneficiary of the notice released this Wednesday is the Intermunicipal Community of the Algarve (AMAL) and the funds are aimed at improving water supply networks that have a high level of losses and whose replacement will allow gains in operational efficiency.
"By financing these works, greater resilience of water resources in the Algarve region is ensured, against a backdrop of climate change and given the growing use of water in the region," says an official source from the Ministry of Environment.
Within the Recovery and Resilience Plan, a total investment of €200 million is planned for the Algarve's regional water efficiency plan.
