The water changed its path
Vive Cabeceiras · Alvite e Passos · regadio documentado em 2008

A channel can vanish from view and remain in memory.

The municipal record for Poça do Monte, surveyed on 14 April 2008, describes a change in Alvite: the shared users piped the natural-ground channel in 2001. It was about one kilometre long and used water from the Ribeiro Furado spring.

The record identifies seven shared users and mentions a steep initial slope. This story helps distinguish the old open channel from piped water conveyance. The document cannot establish the network’s condition today and does not present a walking route.
