Coimbra professor says new Fagilde dam on the Dão is a mistake

Fernando Seabra Santos, a professor and researcher at the University of Coimbra, has argued that the proposed new Fagilde dam on the River Dão, in Viseu, is a mistake. His reasoning is that the planned Girabolhos dam on the Mondego could supply the region instead. The Fagilde project would increase the existing reservoir's capacity by building a larger dam downstream of the current one.
