Floods in Alcácer do Sal
The lower part of the city of Alcácer do Sal, flooded on Wednesday due to the rising Sado River, has accumulated water in some areas with no damage, according to a source from the city council.

In statements to the Lusa news agency, António Grilo, councilor responsible for Civil Protection in the Alcácer do Sal City Council, in the Setúbal district, said that the Sado River "ended up overflowing the retaining wall" on the riverfront and "putting some water on the public road," without "causing any kind of damage."

"Also on 'Avenida dos Aviadores' we continue to have the same volume of water and the expectation is that it will remain so for many hours," he added.

In addition to the rain that has fallen in recent days and the rising tide of the Sado River, "the dams upstream continue to release a lot of water and, at the moment, we are unable to change the situation," he reported.
