Torre Guaceto, Italy, Implements Wastewater Irrigation to Protect Flora

A project is underway in Torre Guaceto, Italy, to utilize treated wastewater for irrigating agricultural lands within the protected area. This initiative seeks to alleviate pressure on groundwater reserves and safeguard the region's native plant and animal life.

The project includes the construction of a storage tank and a 17.5-kilometer distribution network. This system will link to an existing wastewater treatment plant, guaranteeing the efficient reuse of treated water.

By diminishing the dependence on groundwater, the project intends to combat salinization and preserve the area's biodiversity. The initiative also incorporates a technology platform to enhance water resource management in agriculture.
