Relatório Final do projeto ALOP (ALT20-03-0145-FEDER-000004)
Salgado, Rui; Palma, Patrícia; Morais, M. Manuela; Almeida, Adelaide; Alvarenga, Paula; Antunes, Célia; Aranha, Sergio; Bárias, Samuel; Barrenho, JoelO Projeto ALOP teve início formal a 25 de Maio de 2016 e terminou a 31 de dezembro de 2019. Neste relatório final procuramos dar conta das atividades efetuadas e principalmente dos resultados obtidos. A tarefa está facilitada pois o projeto, em conjunto com as sinergias geradas com outros projetos e as colaborações nacionais e internacionais dos vários membros da equipa permitiram a publicação de um invejável n...
A comprehensive performance assessment system for diagnosis and decision-suppor...
Loureiro, Dalia; Beceiro, Paula; Moreira, Madalena; Arranja, Carina; Cordeiro, Diana; Alegre, HelenaIn regions with a strong seasonal or interannual asymmetry in the distribution of precipitation and higher frequency of droughts, collective irrigation systems are vital infrastructures for agricultural activity. Although operating for decades, several systems have ageing infrastructures, with relevant water losses and pumping energy inefficiencies. Consequently, the systems are not adequately designed or opera...
Reservoir evaporation in a Mediterranean climate: Comparing direct methods in A...
Miranda Rodrigues, Carlos; Moreira, Madalena; Guimarães, Rita Cabral; Potes, MiguelAlqueva Reservoir is one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe and is a strategic water storage for public supply, irrigation, and energy generation. The reservoir is integrated within the Multipurpose Alqueva Project (MAP), which includes almost 70 reservoirs in a water-scarce region of Portugal. The MAP contributes to sustainability in southern Portugal and has an important impact on the entire country. E...
Building a Digital Twin for the Management of Pressurised Collective Irrigation...
Moreira, Madalena; Sandra, Mourato; Carlos, Rodrigues; Sandra, Silva; Rita, Cabral GuimarãesDigital Twins (DT) can be exploited to improve Collective Irrigation Systems (CIS) performance and be fundamental for decision-making. Developing a DT is an enormous challenge with continuous adjustments and learning from the physical system. Agriculture represents one of the most water demanding sectors, and changing from gravity to pressurised water distribution turning the efficient use of water and energy a...
Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Public Collective Irrigated Systems
Moreira, Madalena; Cabral Guimarães, Rita; Rijo, Manuel; Arranja, Carina; Cordeiro, Diana; Loureiro, Dália; Cunha, Henrique; Luz, Paulo; Carriço, NelsonIrrigated agriculture is the largest consumer of water (in the country, in Europe and in the world The need to increase crop production led to the transfer of a rainfed agriculture to irrigated agriculture improving at about 10 times the productivity of cultures However, also created the trend for the election of certain specific cultures Rehabilitation of collective irrigation systems with many years of operat...
Downscaling climate change of water availability, sediment yield and extreme ev...
Zhang, Rong; Corte-Real, João; Moreira, Madalena; Kilsby, Chris; Birkinshaw, Stephen; Burton, Aidan; Fowler, Hayley J.; Forsythe, NathanA robust hydrological impact assessment is indispensable for mitigation and adaptation planning. This study presents an integrated modelling methodology for evaluating climate change impacts on water availability, sediment yield and extreme events at the catchment scale. We propose the use of the spatial–temporal Neyman–Scott Rectangular Pulses (STNSRP) model—RainSim V3 and the rainfall conditioned daily weathe...
Downscaling climate change of mean climatology and extremes of precipitation an...
Zhang, Rong; Corte-Real, João; Moreira, Madalena; Kilsby, Chris; Burton, Aidan; Fowler, Hayley J.; Blenkinsop, Stephen; Forsythe, NathanDownscaling is usually necessary for robust hydrological impact assessments. This may be undertaken using a wide range of methods, including a combination of dynamical and statistical‐stochastic downscaling. This study uses the Spatial–Temporal Neyman‐Scott Rectangular Pulses model—RainSimV3, the precipitation‐conditioned daily weather generator—ICAAM‐WG, and the change factor approach for downscaling synthetic...
A Generalized Dynamic Programming Modelling Approach for Integrated Reservoir O...
Rani, Deepti; Mourato, Sandra; Moreira, MadalenaIn water resource systems, the demands at each reservoir are generally known. However, in the integrated operation of a system involving inter-basin water transfers, the import/export of water among various reservoirs also plays an important role in the sustainable and optimal management of available water. Generally, a trial and error approach is adopted to simulate a system for integrated operation. Prior inf...
A implantação e a instalação do conjunto arquitetónico de Valverde e a sua rela...
Conde, Antónia Fialho; Magalhães, Olga; Moreira, Madalena; Claro, Sylvie; Brito, Francisco; Santos, IvoThe chapel and cloister of the Bom Jesus de Valverde Convent (founded by Cardinal D. Henrique in 1540) were classified in 1962 by the Portuguese State as Imóveis de Interesse Público (portuguese classification for listed building). This classification was extended by ministerial approval in 2003 to Quinta and Paço areas (Paço has been built prior to the convent, which began in the late 15th century), process wh...
