Portugal country fiche - Water (02/09/2011)

Country fiches are overviews of available environmental information (reports, indicators,
statistics) per country organised alongside two thematic areas: water and related ecosystems
and green economy. When possible the fiches were complemented with information about the
main institutional players holding environmental information in the country and regional level. The
country fiches have been compiled with the support of the National Focal Points and National
Contact Points from the pan-European region.
