Enna, Cgil protest in square against drought: “New governance needed”
The article discusses the water obstacles in Sicily during a drought, starting from the reservoirs. The Arpa monitors 29 reservoirs, but the national registry counts 46 in eight provinces. Of these, 10 have limitations, 4 are out of operation, and many are unfinished. It is estimated that out of a total capacity of 1.1 million cubic meters of water, the reservoirs could only contain 700 million. Water from the reservoirs then faces water distribution issues and losses from the networks.
In Sicily, more than half of the available water is lost, 51.6%, said Gabriella Messina, the secretary of the Cgil Sicilia, during a regional event calling for structural interventions to combat the water crisis and protect the soil. The Cgil Sicilia calls for a new governance model to overcome the current fragmentation and implement important infrastructure works and interventions on networks, dams, watercourses, and soil protection.
The article highlights the need for a comprehensive strategy to address the water emergency and structural issues. The Cgil urges for better and timelier use of available resources to deal with the water crisis. The article mentions the need for a new governance to address the emergency and structural issues. The article also emphasizes the importance of citizen mobilization to demand change and a better future for Sicily and future generations.
