A barragem foi projetada e constru\u00edda para garantir o abastecimento p\u00fablico de \u00e1gua ao Barlavento Algarvio, onde as secas s\u00e3o frequentes e as reservas h\u00eddricas historicamente insuficientes.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u00c9 uma barragem de aterro zonado com n\u00facleo argiloso, com 76\u202fm de altura acima da funda\u00e7\u00e3o e 418\u202fm de comprimento no coroamento. A albufeira resultante ocupa cerca de 7,8\u202fkm\u00b2 e tem uma capacidade total de armazenamento de cerca de 157\u202fhm\u00b3, dos quais cerca de 134\u202fhm\u00b3 s\u00e3o \u00fateis para utiliza\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

A opera\u00e7\u00e3o da barragem inclui sistemas de descarga de cheias, caudal ecol\u00f3gico, descarga de fundo e estruturas de tomada de \u00e1gua, permitindo a gest\u00e3o integrada dos recursos h\u00eddricos.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

A obra foi conclu\u00edda por volta de 2010, integrando um planeamento complexo de engenharia que abrange tamb\u00e9m t\u00faneis e condutas associadas \u00e0 distribui\u00e7\u00e3o de \u00e1gua tratada na regi\u00e3o.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Esta barragem tem um papel essencial para o desenvolvimento sustentado do Algarve:<\/p>

– Abastecimento P\u00fablico de \u00c1gua \u2013 abastece milhares de habitantes em v\u00e1rios munic\u00edpios, reduzindo a depend\u00eancia de aqu\u00edferos e de pequenas albufeiras.<\/p>

– Regulariza\u00e7\u00e3o de Caudais \u2013 permite regular os caudais da ribeira de Odelouca, contribuindo para a seguran\u00e7a h\u00eddrica nos per\u00edodos mais secos.<\/p>

–\u00a0 Integra\u00e7\u00e3o em Sistemas de Abastecimento \u2013 a \u00e1gua armazenada \u00e9 encaminhada por t\u00faneis e condutas at\u00e9 esta\u00e7\u00f5es de tratamento, onde recebe tratamento adequado antes de chegar \u00e0s torneiras dos utilizadores.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A barragem de Odelouca est\u00e1 integrada na Serra de Monchique e na Bacia Hidrogr\u00e1fica do Arade, desempenhando um papel importante na regula\u00e7\u00e3o ecol\u00f3gica dos ecossistemas ribeirinhos, nomeadamente atrav\u00e9s do caudal ecol\u00f3gico que \u00e9 libertado de forma controlada para garantir continuidade de habitats aqu\u00e1ticos.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Al\u00e9m disso, parte do investimento no projeto incluiu medidas de conserva\u00e7\u00e3o ambiental e compensa\u00e7\u00e3o para prote\u00e7\u00e3o de esp\u00e9cies e habitats diretamente afetados pela constru\u00e7\u00e3o e opera\u00e7\u00e3o da albufeira.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nos \u00faltimos anos, gra\u00e7as a per\u00edodos de maior precipita\u00e7\u00e3o, o n\u00edvel da albufeira de Odelouca tem\u00a0registado valores mais elevados do que em anos anteriores, contribuindo para uma maior seguran\u00e7a de abastecimento. Em determinados momentos, a Barragem de Odelouca alcan\u00e7ou mais de 90% da sua capacidade \u00fatil, levando \u00e0 necessidade de efetuar descargas controladas.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
