Environmental Restoration: Meirama Lake

The creation of an artificial lake, Lake Meirama, is the final restoration phase of an old lignite mine. It is the first artificial lake in Europe that can be used as a water reserve for a large population (400,000 people) without prior intensive treatment thanks to the high quality of its water. More than 450,000 trees have been planted in its surroundings, and more than 830 animal and plant species have been counted in this green space, some of which have special conservation value.
