Emergency Water System
This meeting with Bombeiros Lisbonenses focused on evaluating and improving the emergency water supply system, including operational strategies, population coverage, and system integration.
Key points discussed included:
-
review of the presentation for Civil Protection, with the need to improve its structure and prepare more informed questions based on a better understanding of the organization
-
revision of population estimates, expanding scenarios from 1,000,000 to 4,000,000 people to reflect Lisbon’s real daily population
-
water management strategies, including reuse and treatment of tank renewal water to make it suitable for human consumption
-
implementation of an automatic water renewal system integrated into the public network to reduce human error and improve efficiency
-
clarification that project tanks are complementary to main reservoirs, increasing distribution and territorial coverage
-
potential connection to the electrical grid during normal operation to enhance system efficiency and allow use of higher-power equipment
Next steps:
-
deepen the study of Civil Protection structure and hierarchy
-
prepare specific questions for the next meeting
-
revise project parameters, particularly population modelling and technical system design
