Mission 2 - Component 4 - Inv. 4.3 - Investments in the resilience of the irrigated agro-system for improved water management

The objective concerns those projects that, by promoting an efficient use of water, through a reduction in losses and a better management of the uses consequent to an adequate measurement of the uses, allow a greater and more constant availability of the water resource for irrigation and are therefore configured as a measure of adaptation of the agricultural sector to climate change, increasing the resilience of the agro-ecosystem.The Ministry has used the DANIA database (National Database of Investments for Irrigation and the Environment) as a reference for the selection of the projects to be financed, as an effective programming tool that allows the involvement not only of the Regions/Autonomous Provinces, but also of the Irrigation Consortia and Authorities, taking into account objective criteria, such as the entity of the water savings ensured, the commitment to the installation of meters for measuring the volumes used, the strategic relevance of each investment with respect to the programming indications of the Local Authorities, and the level of execution of each intervention.

Description

The measure concerns investments aimed at increasing the resilience of the irrigation agro-system to extreme climatic events, with particular reference to drought events, with the intent of improving the management of water resources and reducing losses, favouring the metering and monitoring of uses both on collective networks and for private use, and preventing the illicit use of water in rural areas. The Province has therefore involved the Trentino irrigation system (Provincial Federation of Irrigation and Land Improvement Consortia and the Trentino Land Reclamation Consortium) in a collaborative process, as part of a system approach, with the aim of accompanying the uploading, in the DANIA database, of those irrigation projects, executive and feasible, that respond to the above-mentioned efficiency goals.

For Trentino, 14 projects have been included in the ranking list by the Ministry and considered eligible for funding (but currently not financed), for a total amount of almost 84 million Euro.
