Case Study Description |
|
The Portuguese case study addresses bathing water
quality and related health issues.
Three bathing waters nearby Lisbon - Carcavelos,
Torre and Santo Amaro de Oeiras - were chosen to locally
implement and validate lenvis.
 |
|
Current Situation:
These bathing waters usually have good water quality.
However they can be exposed to short-term pollution events,
mainly from 3 local stream discharges (Sassoeiros, Marianas and Laje
streams) that can considerably affect the
water quality.
Under extrem rain events, other streams can also influence the bathing
water quality: Porto-Salvo, Barcarena,
Jamor, Junça and Algés. These streams are generally characterised has
having bad water quality mainly due to faecal contamination that occurs
upstream.
