Drought alarm, commissioner Marnati: “The water reserves are finished, every liter must be saved”
Matteo Marnati, Councilor for the Environment of Piedmontcomments on the water situation of the region: “We must save every liter of drinking water available, because the reserves are gone. The water that is falling today on the hydroelectric basins is glacial water, that is, it is unfortunately due to the melting of the glaciers due to the rising of the freezing point, so it is not good news: water is arriving, but we are losing our reserves “.
Drought alarm, Luca Zaia: “Ultra-red sticker, I appeal to economical consumption”
“The forecasts for the next few days say stability, so I appeal to a responsible use of water resources. For now there are no symptoms for the reversal of the trend. ” Luca Zaiapresident of the Region Veneto, calls for attention to the alarming state of drought in Veneto. “I appeal to a thrifty consumption, I’m not saying to wait two pees before pulling the water – he says – but let’s avoid polishing the car on Saturday night to go out with the girlfriend, water the gardens, let’s not waste the resource” ” . To provide the picture on the current state are the numbers: “we are in an early thaw of three months, the state we are in today should occur at the end of the summer, we will arrive with a glacial water reserve in difficulty, we are in ultra-red sticker“.
Zaia then explained that there are areas with 70-80% water dispersion that require interventions, so he remembers where the investments should be directed: “there are experiments in the Treviso area where 3 thousand square meters of panels are combined to make the pumps that directly irrigate the roots of the plants drop by drop. The investment we assume is about 500 million, it is essential to invest in this lot “
