Sicily Castello Dam water infrastructure project

Overview

Stakeholders in Ribera, Sicily, are seeking bipartisan support and regional funding to address a water crisis affecting the local agricultural sector. The primary objective is to rebuild and double the capacity of the Castello Dam water pipeline (Adduttore Castello).

Local representatives and political leaders, including Michele Catanzaro of the Democratic Party, have advocated for amendments to the Sicilian Regional Assembly's budget to fund the initial phase of the project, specifically the section from the Castello Dam to the Tavernola tank. Proponents describe the infrastructure upgrade as a ‘strategic necessity’ to mitigate the impact of chronic water shortages and climate change on the Agrigento region's economy.
