Italy water infrastructure and supply management

Overview

Italy is addressing significant challenges regarding water infrastructure, quality, and supply. In Basilicata and Calabria, the government has prioritized water purification and treatment projects to meet EU standards and ensure sustainable water reuse for industry and agriculture following severe droughts. Key plant completions and large-scale funding programs have been implemented to stabilize resources in these southern regions.

Simultaneously, various regions have faced localized water crises. In Liguria, monitoring revealed microbiological contamination in certain water sources, while in Sicily, drought-related scarcity led to public protests and legal investigations into the distribution of non-potable water. Other incidents included sanitation efforts to address Legionella bacteria in Aosta and Pontecurone.
