To preventatively address the worsening water emergency affecting the agricultural and livestock sector, the Chief of Staff of the Presidency of the Council – Michele Busciolano, in concert with the departments of the environment, territory and energy and agricultural and food policies and forestry, today called a meeting in the Region which was attended by the general directors Roberto Tricomi and Emilia Piemontese, the sole administrator of the Basilicata Land Reclamation Consortium – Giuseppe Musacchio and Pasquale Coccaro representing the Apennine District Basin Authority Southern.
During the meeting, the need to bring to the attention of all competent subjects the requests for irrigation facilities made by the Reclamation Consortium was shared, also taking advantage of the interconnection characteristics of interregional water schemes.
The representative of the Southern Apennines District Basin Authority provided some technical elements relating to the availability present in the various reservoirs and committed himself to providing possible scenarios for the distribution of water resources in a very short time.
Should the problems not find a solution and in order to update the agreements to current scenarios, the Basilicata Region does not exclude the possibility of convening the technical table of the Program Agreement on water resources with the Puglia Region and the Government.
