Hydrica, International Show of Water Technologies

From the 23 to 25 June 209, in the exhibition centre of Padua the second edition of "Hydrica, International Show of Water Technologies" takes to the floor. Environmental education and water saving initiatives. Learning about water resources in order to reduce wastage. Raising awareness of this precious resource for future generations. The event is dedicated in its entirety to the preservation of water, and focussed on the correct management of water supplies in order to safeguard this precious resource, and is targeted at professional sector operators.

In addition the Association for the Rights of Users and Consumers of the Integrated Water System of the Lazio Region will present an "exhibition about conscious usage of water resources" on their specially designed stand. This particular exhibition has already been visited by more than 13,000 middle school students in the Lazio Region. During the event, booklets will be distributed to sector operators, conference delegates and visitors concerning the use of water resources together with a cd containing schemes and advice from the exhibition on how to save water. This material is also available in English and Spanish.

In addition, there will be a presentation of the book, "Integrated water system, a local network public service": regulatory issues, planning of resources, mechanisms for collective and individual protection of users.

"What citizens really want is to be represented in control activities, that are governed by law, with the aim of regulating the service, that remain external to the sphere of user and provider relationships", confirms lawyer Lucia Pitzura, the Guarantor of the Integrated Water Service of the Lazio Region.

The hydro-geological situation in Italy is particularly serious: negligence, and at times, the incorrect management of the integrated water cycle, a lack of suitable reservoirs that are essential for the distribution of water throughout the year, wastage due to lack of respect by citizens of a fundamental life resource such as water have generated the necessity to extensively increase awareness among citizens/consumers about the correct usage of water resources.
