Project summary
Edit project overview to modify the project summary.
This is an action that will address the full decontamination of the channel and to solve problems of ecosystem degradation and pollution caused by surface water and groundwater so that the natural action is capable of, in the future, retrieve and maintaining good ecological conditions of the middle and upper reach. The project is based on performances in the Magro River and in its tributaries.
The main objective of this project is to improve ecological quality of Magro River and its tributaries, ensuring its future maintenance. The project has a total budget of 3.879.909 € and is financed by the Ministry of Environment.
