«Portugal, um retrato ambiental - episódio 3: "águas"» by Luísa Schmidt and Francisco Manso
August 25, 2017, 19h30
Museu da Água (Parque Dr. Manuel Braga) [Coimbra]
Synopsis: This episode reveals the historical and geographical course of some rivers, estuaries and the sea and the pitiful state of the quality of its waters. Pollution of beaches, use of river waters as a means of disposing of pollutants and toxic products by some industries, as well as clandestine urbanizations that made rivers open sewers. The episode exposes how the New State structuring policies, the disorder resulting from the absence of planning rules and poorly conducted investments in basic sanitation infrastructure have led to the current and deplorable state of our waters.
Session 4 of the ParaDocma Itinerant Cinema Series, an initiative jointly organised by the Coimbra em Transição Association (CeT) and the CES Ecology and Society Workshop (ECOSOC), in collaboration with other local organisations.
