Framework

 

The Info Água portal was developed by APA - Agência Portuguesa do Ambiente, IP, to provide up-to-date information during the bathing season on beaches and the quality of coastal, transitional and inland bathing waters, and throughout the year on droughts and floods.


The beaches section is currently available, with the other sections coming soon.


You can choose your favourite beaches and find out about water quality, awards, equipment and services, as well as being notified of the latest bathing water quality analyses.


The information provided by the APA in the beaches section is complemented by daily weather forecasts provided by the IPMA - Instituto Português do Mar e da Atmosfera, IP service, as well as tidal information provided by the Hydrographic (IH) Institute.


More detailed information on the beaches can be found at https://snirh.apambiente.pt/index.php?idMain=1&idItem=2.1

 

Privacy Policy

 

The APA, as the entity responsible for the Info Água portal, takes its users' right to privacy seriously, making the portal available under a commitment to ensure not only the quality of the service, but also that browsing is carried out safely and with absolute respect for the protection of its users' privacy.

 

The portal is a tool for providing up-to-date information on beaches and bathing water quality, as well as flood and drought situations, and can be visited and used free of charge without the user having to reveal any personal information, requiring only the use of mobile network or Wi-Fi services.

 

By authorising the use of the device's location, the user can benefit from the service that allows them to identify the beaches or river basins that are close to them and thus have quick and up-to-date information on those beaches or river basins.

 

Users can define their favourite beaches, reservoirs and/or stations in the beaches, dry and flood tabs respectively, and the device's storage is used to preserve the list of favourites.

 

This ensures that this is the only information collected by the portal, which is stored on the user's own device. APA will not use the data collected by the portal, nor will it collect any personal information from the user at any time.
