SNIAmb

SNIAmb (Sistema Nacional de Informação do Ambiente) serves as Portugal's comprehensive National Environmental Information System. It plays a crucial role in centralizing, organizing, and disseminating a vast array of environmental data, making it accessible to the public, researchers, and policymakers. This platform aims to enhance environmental awareness and support informed decision-making across various environmental domains.

The system is structured around several key thematic areas, including Climate, Water, Air and Noise, Environmental Assessment and Management, Prevention and Management of Risks, and Waste. Each area provides specific information, data, and reports relevant to its focus, allowing users to delve into particular environmental concerns and policies within Portugal.

A core feature of SNIAmb is its collection of geographic viewers. These interactive tools allow users to visualize environmental data spatially. Notably, there are detailed viewers for water-related topics, such as "Áreas de Risco Potencial Significativo de Inundação" (Significant Potential Flood Risk Areas), "Planos de Gestão de Região Hidrográfica" (River Basin Management Plans), and "Programa da Orla Costeira" (Coastal Zone Programs), offering critical insights into hydrological and coastal management challenges.
