Valdera, Pisa and Danube, Hungary are getting even closer thanks to similar needs in the hydraulic security sector created the foundations for a trans-national project: a common project to bring EU funds to the Valdera reclamation area and the Danube Bay for innovative system for the protection of water systems.
To this end, president of the Consorizio Bonifica Valdera, Edoardo Villani, returned from a recent mission to Hungary with an agreement signed with the secretary general of the Hungarian Hydraulics Consortium, Ferenc Feher, and the Danube Hydraulics Consortium, Zselt Miklos Balogh.
Common goals include designing a new type of storage system (important for irrigation and reserve tanks in case of drought) and a new type of dike using the latest in naturalistic engineering.
''Two hypothesis to work on together, bringing together each entity's ability and experience to obtain community financing that will then make it possible to apply to our local areas: us in Valdera and Valdarno and our colleagues on the Danube'', said Villani.
The meeting also served as a way to share knowledge. Villani illustrated the characteristics and goals of Italian reclamation areas, and more precisely the projects in the works from the Valdera Reclamation Area: fluvial parks (the Truffle Park will be the first example of its kind on the national level), irrigation with reused water and requalification of the supply system.
The supply system is the strong point of the Danube Hydraulic Consortium due to its important work in the agricultural irrigation system.
Even in their different area assets, the consortiums are alike: the Hungarian one also has a 82,000 hectare area and is pressed with the problematic of helping taxpayers understand the importance of hydraulic security.
