Why waste water? AquaPorto shows the importance of H2O for life

The city of Porto is fully committed to raising awareness on the importance of water. As such, Porto plays host to the 5th edition of AquaPorto 2018, which starts on 28 September and runs till 30 September.

This event marks Water National Day in Portugal, and under the motto ""Pelo Planeta, Mãos à Água" ["Let's get to Work, for the Planet", free translation], AquaPorto brings to the City Park a global alert on climate change and the impact it has on the environment, namely water resources.

Around 130 scientific experiences, educational activities and fun games are part of this edition's programme, whose goal is to educate the public about water waste, water recycling increase and safe reuse.

The City Park offers three full days of free activities and fun science to raise awareness, educate the public, and inspire people to take action to help solve the global water crisis.

AquaPorto is organised by Porto City Hall, via the municipal companies Águas do Porto and PortoLazer.

All activities are free.
