The members of the beneficiary community of Bologna with a population of about 400,000, have
access to education that is guaranteed to the entire population of the territory and is given for at least eight years free of charge. In the area affected by the project there are schools, primary, secondary, university and hospitals. Water management
has become a crucial problem from a safety and public health point of view.
We highlight the following issues:
Infrastructural problem: since a large part of the underground network is located, the problem of monitoring water quality presents difficulties in employing personnel at several points in confined places.
Problem of continuity: monitoring is occasional, as are the related consequent interventions. Problem of the emergence of part of the Reno canal: greater exposure to city pollution.
Debris problem during and after the floods of the surrounding rivers: the Emilia-Romagna area in recent years has had serious flooding of the rivers surrounding the city which have also generated deaths. The waters of the rivers in flood are full of debris, mud, logs, which, immersed in the city canals, would give problems in terms of operation and maintenance. In fact, in the days immediately following the flood, when there is a depletion queue, the canals are usually reopened and the water that enters is that of the river in the immediate aftermath of the flood. The risk is that the debris of the rivers in flood will reach the city with serious inconvenience.
Wastewater problem: despite the efforts of recent decades, there is a strong threat of discharges of wastewater within the canals due to incorrect behavior or accidental situations. To date, the management of this phenomenon takes place only when the canals are put dry and therefore can be inspected.
Summer dry problem: during the summer the level drops and waste, bad smells, ...
The Rotary Clubs supporting the project will participate in scheduled appointments in
which they will be able to directly use the measurement instrumentation by carrying out on-site surveys at various points of the grid, transmitting the data to the bodies in charge.
The duration of the project will be one year.
