The event began with a lecture, where the participants got to know, through the speaker Mónica Martins, the fundamentals of the LIFE RIBERMINE Project and its objectives. These objectives relate to the application and implementation of corrective measures for the Mining Acid Drainage (DAM) in order to improve the quality of the water and soil in the Lousal region, caused by the mining of massive sulphides.
