Exploitation of the waters of the Campolattaro reservoir and strengthening of the drinking water supply (Lot 1)
2023 | ONGOING
Completion of the work will enable the enhancement of drinking water supply for more than 2.5 million people, as well as the irrigation of about 15000 hectares for agricultural production.
The project is part of the seven national strategic interventions included in the “NRRP” (the National Recovery and Resiliency Plan, NRRP) and refers to one of the main reservoirs located in Italy’s Central South region. Once the project is terminated, branch networks will be articulated from the reservoir to bring water resources to municipalities in the area and other aqueducts, with the aim of ensuring the region’s water autonomy.
In particular, the first lot, consists in realizing a diversion tunnel of about 7.5 kilometers with a Tunnel Boring Machine, the construction of a drinking water treatment plant and a 30000 cubic meters storage reservoir.
