APDA (Portuguese Association of Water Distribution and Drainage) Award – Golden Pipes

Category: Best Sustainability Action 

We ended the week with excellent news! 😁

We are extremely proud to share another award for the REGADOURO Project! 🏆

During ENEG 2025, the APDA Award – Golden Pipes was awarded in the category ‘Best Sustainability Action’.

🤝 The REGADOURO Project, a pioneering solution for the production of Water for Reuse for sustainable irrigation of vineyards in the Foz Côa area, had the collaboration of several partners, including CITBA/UTAD, Poças, Águas do Norte, S.A., ADVID and Veolia Portugal. 

💧 In a country where the agricultural sector accounts for 70% of global water consumption, REGADOURO demonstrates that it is possible to transform treated wastewater into valuable resources for viticulture, making use of nutrients and fertilisers and contributing to the resilience of inland regions.
