Alcântara River, Urban brook in Falagueira-Venda Nova, Portugal.
The Alcântara River flows through residential areas and valleys, spanning approximately 12 kilometers from Brandoa to the Tagus River in Lisbon.
The channelization works of the Alcântara River began in 1945 and concluded in 1967, transforming the waterway into an underground system.
Local communities historically relied on the river's flow for various activities, establishing a connection between different neighborhoods along its course.
The river's valley configuration enabled the development of railway networks, including the Cintura Line and Sintra Line transportation routes.
The water treatment station in the valley intercepts sewage and rainwater systems, following the drainage profile of the river basin.
