Portugal's irrigation authority publishes 2025 yearbook on public irrigation schemes

Portugal's national irrigation authority, the DGADR, has released its yearbook for the 2025 irrigation season. The document gathers data collected from each publicly managed irrigation scheme, giving an overall picture of collective public irrigation across the country. It tracks performance indicators and is meant to help identify where water and energy efficiency, sustainability and the management of infrastructure can improve. The authority presents it as a tool for decision-making and planning, aimed at a more efficient and resilient irrigation sector able to face future challenges in farming.
