    Pombalinho, a riverside village on the Tagus, is occasionally affected by the floods of the Tagus, whose water overflows, transforming the streets of Pombalinho into navigable rivers.

    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.

    Pombalinho is a town in the district of Santarém, Portugal, known for being frequently affected by floods. This reputation is due to its strategic location on the right bank of the Tagus River and near the Alviela stream, in a floodplain area.

    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.
