This note describes some aspects regarding the management of water resources in Italy. The study includes the analysis of rainfall patterns in the last years (2003-2007), considering the trend of annual and seasonal precipitation. Furthermore, an other issue is the irrigation systems: the more diffuse methods and the modality of water supplying adopted by farmers in the North, Centre and South of Italy are evaluated. The role of farm ponds as water storage reservoir is an important aspect: the study takes into account the ponds distribution, management and their use for aid irrigation. Some examples about the possible use of farm ponds are described for different regions of Italian territory.

Abstract

This note describes some aspects regarding the management of water resources in Italy. The study includes the analysis of rainfall patterns in the last years (2003-2007), considering the trend of annual and seasonal precipitation. Furthermore, an other issue is the irrigation systems: the more diffuse methods and the modality of water supplying adopted by farmers in the North, Centre and South of Italy are evaluated. The role of farm ponds as water storage reservoir is an important aspect: the study takes into account the ponds distribution, management and their use for aid irrigation. Some examples about the possible use of farm ponds are described for different regions of Italian territory.
