Água Nova

Água Nova refers to a place name and, less commonly, a descriptive term related to water. The term, when used as a place name, most often designates a specific locality, typically a small town, village, or district. Its origin is Portuguese, and translates literally to "new water" in English.

As a place name, "Água Nova" is found in various Portuguese-speaking regions, most notably in Brazil and Portugal. The specific history and characteristics of each individual "Água Nova" location will vary. They may be named for the presence of a newly discovered spring, river, well, or other water source. The term can also allude to a settlement's revitalization or connection to a new water system.

Beyond being a proper noun, "água nova" can also be used descriptively, though much less frequently. In this context, it implies freshly discovered or particularly pure water. This usage is generally poetic or symbolic rather than technical.
