Climate change and population growth pressure are important drivers in the available water resources. The crucial point of water management should be to promote an integrated water management in a river catchment and associated groundwater systems.

“…The recorded urban water systems conditions are very similar to the concerns of other Portuguese municipalities in the 19th century (e.g., Lisbon, Coimbra, Figueira da Foz, Porto, Guimarães, and Braga) related to initiating comprehensive groundwater studies for urban water supply (e.g., References [57,60,62,[68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76], and references therein). In addition, References [77,78] reported several cholera epidemic outbreaks in Portugal, showing poorer hygienic conditions than most Portuguese cities.…”
