“SNOW AT HIGH ALTITUDE IS GREAT NEWS”
“Excellent news both for environmental and tourist aspects, and for what concerns the agricultural sector and more generally the production sector”. This is how Massimo Sertori, regional councillor for Local Authorities and the Mountains, with responsibility for Water Resource Use, comments on the data from Lombardy collected by the Snow Water Equivalent (SWE) campaign on the main glacial systems, conducted by the Nivometeorological Centre of Arpa Lombardia according to which the cumulative snow values on the Lombardy glacial basins are between 40 and 20 metres, equivalent to 4201 and 1975 kg/m of water reserve in the snowpack.
“In Lombardy, after periods of great drought, which forced us to face significant critical issues – adds Councilor Sertori – this year we can talk about a situation characterized by average snowfall during the winter and significantly higher snowfall in the spring months on all the Lombard mountains”.
