Water resource initiatives launched in Italy

The ANCORA project, developed by the Centro Studi Naturalistici for the Oasi Laguna del Re in Manfredonia, has received a special mention in the H2O! Contest Acqua. This national initiative, promoted by the Genoa Blue District, recognizes innovative solutions for the sustainable management of water resources. The ANCORA proposal focuses on an integrated model involving ecosystem mosaics, nature-based solutions, circular economy principles, and IoT monitoring for predictive management.

In Friuli Venezia Giulia, the AvA – Arte Vita Anima association has launched a survey regarding the Tagliamento and Noncello rivers as part of the ‘Carta dei Valori’ project. This social and scientific research aims to map the cultural, environmental, and symbolic relationships citizens have with these waterways. The initiative seeks to promote a sustainable culture of water and foster a sense of collective responsibility toward freshwater landscapes.
