The ongoing\u00a0climate crisis<\/b>\u00a0has also made itself felt in Italy, in fact, 2022 recorded very high temperatures and rainfall of about 50 billion cubic meters of water less than in past years. But even in 2023 the\u00a0drought<\/b>\u00a0is advancing rapidly, especially in the North. In a country like Italy, characterized by a strong link with the land and with agriculture in the history and economy of the territory, an initiative like the\u00a0Laghetti Plan<\/b>\u00a0represents an important turning point for the future of agricultural activities and the protection of the territory.<\/p>

The\u00a0Laghetti Plan<\/b>\u00a0is an important\u00a0strategy against drought<\/b>\u00a0that aims to create artificial water basins intended to mitigate the effects of climate change on agricultural activities.\u00a0ANBI<\/b>\u00a0(Associazione Nazionale Bonifiche e Irrigazioni MiglioraFondiari), an entity that manages and protects the territory and irrigation water, and\u00a0Coldiretti<\/b>\u00a0(National Confederation of Direct Farmers), an association that represents and assists the agricultural sector, have already\u00a0presented the Plan<\/b>\u00a0in the autumn of 2021. At that time the signs of drought were there, but the real emergency would begin months later, more precisely in the spring of 2022.\u00a0<\/p>

The idea behind the Laghetti Plan is to create an integrated system of micro-basins and small\u00a0reservoirs<\/b>\u00a0for the\u00a0collection<\/b>\u00a0of\u00a0rainwater<\/b>, to be used in particular in areas affected by drought phenomena. These\u00a0artificial lakes<\/b>\u00a0will improve biodiversity and, above all,\u00a0provide water<\/b>\u00a0for agricultural activities. It is a project for the construction of 10,000 artificial basins throughout Italy, with very low environmental impact, as they do not include concrete works or damming of waterways.<\/p>

The reservoirs are not only useful for water needs in agriculture, but can\u00a0also be used\u00a0<\/b>as a surface on which to install floating\u00a0photovoltaic panels<\/b>\u00a0or in case of lack of\u00a0drinking water<\/b>. Thanks to the use of new technologies and the collaboration between ANBI and Coldiretti, the Laghetti Plan will be able not only to improve the quality of water resources, but also to optimize their distribution to support agricultural activities and the life of rural communities.<\/p>

ANBI and Coldiretti aim to build\u00a010.000<\/b>\u00a0medium-small\u00a0reservoirs<\/b>\u00a0by 2030<\/b>\u00a0but, for now, the projects that have reached the executive phase, therefore immediately buildable, during the last year were\u00a0223<\/b><\/a>. For this first part of the project it has been estimated that 3.2 billion euros will be needed, of which the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) has already committed 880 million euros.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

G.Re.T.A. system: an ally against hydrogeological risk\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The irrigation\u00a0basins<\/b>\u00a0envisaged by the Laghetti Plan constitute a great potential for the territory, but also a\u00a0risk\u00a0<\/b>in terms of\u00a0hydrogeological instability<\/b>, if they were subject to filtration phenomena, which could undermine their stability. One of the key elements to\u00a0ensure the structural stability<\/b>\u00a0of works of this kind is, certainly, in addition to the design in a workmanlike manner, the use of monitoring technologies of the same.<\/p>

One of the\u00a0most promising technologies<\/b>\u00a0for\u00a0real-time monitoring\u00a0<\/b>of the structure of earth basins\u00a0is\u00a0<\/b>G.Re.T.A.<\/b><\/a>, a\u00a0permanent geo-electric monitoring<\/b>\u00a0system, which allows you to keep under control the evolution of phenomena taking place within the body of the structure, such as\u00a0filtration<\/b>,\u00a0cavity creation\u00a0<\/b>or\u00a0fractures<\/b>. The instrument is able to measure changes over time in the resistivity of the subsurface, which is a function of\u00a0water content<\/b>\u00a0or the presence of voids in the ground.\u00a0<\/p>

This system is an important ally for the Laghetti Plan, as it can be used to constantly\u00a0monitor\u00a0<\/b>the\u00a0structural integrity<\/b>\u00a0of the earth embankments\u00a0of irrigation basins<\/b>, with the aim of\u00a0minimizing the hydrogeological risk<\/b>\u00a0associated with the instability of the structures themselves.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
