The Odelouca Dam began providing water to the western Algarve on 1 June 2012. It was the finish of a controversial project that took its first steps 40 years earlier in 1972.
Since then the dam which is the largest in the Algarve system has provided 30 million cubic meters of water.
It is the second largest dam built with soil (the largest is Santa Clara, in Baixo Alentejo), but the only one that has a tunnel that runs from one side to another of the wall.
