Schifani urges quick action on desalination plant reactivation to fight drought

The article explains the importance of reactivating three desalination plants in Porto Empedocle, Gela, and Trapani in Sicily, which have been inactive for over ten years. The Sicilian government has allocated 90 million euros for this project as part of a cohesion agreement with the national government. The National Commissioner for Water Emergency has been tasked with overseeing the project, with the goal of having temporary desalination units operational within a few months and permanent plants by next summer. The President of Sicily, Renato Schifani, highlighted the necessity of these desalination plants to ensure adequate water supply, especially in the face of increasing droughts due to climate change.
