At the entrances to the village there is a marker indicating the different levels that the water reached during the last floods.
After the great floods of 1979, Dutch and French volunteers came to help rebuild Pombalinho.
This memory is commemorated on a plaque of thanks.

Why do floods occur?
Proximity to the Tagus River: The main cause of the floods is the town's location near the Tagus Riverbed. During rainy winters, the river overflows and floods the surrounding areas, which are alluvial plains.
