The drought, according to Goletta Verde, has meant that less water has reached the sea
Genoa – Polluted water in only 5 cases and only near the mouths of streams. The photograph taken every year by Goletta Verde of Legambiente on the quality of the Ligurian sea has chiaroscuro interpretations. The objective data is that compared to last year – 4 out of 23 points – in 2022 the volunteers registered one more site on one less sample, that is 5 out of 22 points were found to be heavily polluted.
The positive note is that all the points at sea were found to be within the limits and that the criticalities concern the mouths of the streams.
The droughtaccording to Goletta Verde, has meant that less water has reached the sea from streams that are often the cause of pollution due to uncontrolled discharges that end up in small streams and this has been good for the quality of the sea because the polluted areas are only at the mouths of streams.
The critical points
Specifically, 5 heavily polluted points were found:
- mouth of the San Romolo stream in Sanremo
- mouth outlet canal promenade Diaz 161 in Ceriale
- mouth of the Nervi stream in Genoa
- mouth Rio San Siro in Santa Margherita Ligure
- a polluted spot at the mouth of the Roja river in Ventimiglia.
The remaining 17 points monitored were within the legal limits.
“The samplings carried out by Goletta Verde at the end of June and the results of the bacteriological analyzes are encouraging for this summer season – comments Holy Grammarian, President of Legambiente Liguria – still finding it difficult to concentrate in particular at the mouths of canals and the mouths of streams and rivers. We invite the mayors to pay particular attention and to carry out supplementary analyzes where there are reports from citizens and tourists of leaks from sewage networks or illegal discharges “.
