tagus

Coming over here, rowing up the Tagus Estuary from the Iberian Peninsula in improvised rafts.

I remember reading that book on my crossings over the tagus river in Lisbon, after we got introduced to Caml Light.

And, yes, we had tons of dams too near the Tagus and Duero rivers, they can produce tons of power too.

You do get a view of the Tagus (river, and then it turns into a bay) for a little while as you come into Lisbon.

The people throwing mud at authorities for insufficient protection measures against droughts are probably the same who protested against the planned reduction of Tagus river water redirection.

I live close to Lisbon (in the South margin of the Tagus river) and I can say Meshtastic was very active throughout the outage.

A ex-president of Portugal (Mario Soares) was known for liking to do long walks along the Tagus river in Lisbon, and hitching rides from passing drivers, back to the Presidential Palace.

The border between Spain and Portugal crosses all sorts of divides and watersheds: the Tagus river starts in Spain, passes near Madrid, travels west, and empties into the Atlantic in Lisbon.

You can't compete aganst the steam engine and the railway making communications and sharing of goods and raw materials something ridiculously cheap compared to the previous times, even by boat in both UK and Spain where the big rivers like Douro and Tagus could sustain a lot of transport.

In many cases, because both overlap with geographical features: the Carpathians in Romania, the Pontic-Caspian steppe in Ukraine, the green mountainous Portugal north of the Tagus vs the flat "montado" landscape to the south.

On a smaller scale, the Tagus-Segura water transfer project [0] in Spain is creating problems not only for Portugal who receives less water in the Tejo river, but also fueling unsustainable agriculture booms which in turn have created ecological disasters [1] Often these water transfers introduce invasive species.
