o It gave us a first definition of “drinking water”;
o But this definition was very questionable because it evaluated characteristics in a very coarse way
SIXTHIES
Dirty water in the aqueducts
We have to find a way to reduce the pollution in the water
DPR 3/07/1982 n.515
Surface waters were
divided into
three categori
es
A1 simple physics treatment and disinfection
A2 normal physics and chemical treatment, disinfection and refiningA3 pushed physics and chemical treatment, disinfection and refining
DPR 24/05/1988 N.236
o Were defined the meaning of “ drinking water” through some parameters
Saving water at home means huge improvements
The most obvious place to start saving water is at home, here we have
some tips that will allow you to conserve fresh water by only changing
your habits slightly
In the kitchen…
1. Don't rinse your hands, clothes or vegetables under a running tap, do so in a bowl or sink.
2. Only run washing machines or dishwashers with a full load, and cut down the rinse cycle if possible.
3. Water plants with the same water used for washing food.
In the bathroom…
1. Turn off the tap while brushing teeth, soaping hands or shaving;
2. Take short showers instead of baths;
3. If you do have a bath, use the water left over to wash the floor;
4. Use water saving devices, e.g. water efficient showerhead, water tap, dual flush cistern for the toilet, and pay attention to water efficiency labels;
5. Avoid flushing unnecessarily.
And, at least…
1. Fix dripping taps and water mains quickly;
2. Teach children that water is not for games;
3. Control the flow from the tap, do not always turn it to the full.
4. Wash cars with a bucket of water and the towel instead of a hose.
A well planned urban
and industrial growth
Measures to apply as prevention for a correct
management of the water resources are:
Use materials and architectural
solutions environmentally friendly able
to improve our territory, the fountains
and the water locations
Upgrade, respecting the environment,
industrial areas and buildings.
Collecting rain water
The use of new technologies to disinfect and not alter
the aspects of taste and quality of water
Thus avoiding to rely excessively on drainage
from the water tables and a strict organisation of
the pumping activities
Draining water from lakes and
rivers
Thanks to water, we have established, new social
relationships among citizens and communities on
the territory.
The separation of gray and black waters and the
decentralisation of the treatment techniques for
local re-use
Promote and incentivate the use of tap water in private
and public structures
The lack of interest for some types of plants
which favour the oxygen production of the
territory and remove polluting elements.
The lack of sensibility for all that is
traditional and the territorial cultural
heritage (people, farming, the elders)
who and which would contribute to
improve the territorial environmental
balance.
Water reeds
Hemp
Further operations in the area of the Plain at high hydrogeological risk
Make the new “wells field”
in the river bed of the
Serchio at San Pietro a
Vico more efficient.
Decrease the water
drainage of the paper
mills.
Monitor the levels of the
layer and the percentage
of territory under the
authority of the Bacino
dell’Arno
Increase the pressure
in the restrained table
during rainy periods.
Eliminate the
private wells
Experiment
techniques of artificial
refilling of the water
layer at Casa del
Lupo
