The lake is shrinking more and more...

Spring, in hydrology, opening at or near the surface of the Earth for the discharge of water from underground sources. A spring is a natural discharge point of subterranean water at the surface of the ground or directly into the bed of a stream, lake, or sea. Water that emerges at the surface without a perceptible current is called a seep. Wells are holes excavated to bring water and other underground fluids to the surface.

The Campilhas dam (Portuguese Barragem de Campilhas) is located in the Alentejo region of Portugal in the Setúbal district. It dams the Campilhas, a left (western) tributary of the Sado to a reservoir (port. Albufeira da Barragem de Campilhas). The small town of Cercal do Alentejo is located about five kilometers southwest of the dam. The project to build the dam began in 1941. Construction was completed in 1954. In addition to the drinking water supply, the dam is also used for irrigation. It is owned by the Associação de Regantes e Beneficiários de Campilhas e Alto Sado.[1] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talsperre_Campilhas
