WAMARIBAS - Guidelines to upgrade water quality in the Sassari, Pesaro and Caltanissetta pilot areas in Italy

The project aimed to demonstrate a methodology implementing water management at river basin level involving relevant stakeholders in three Italian pilot river catchments. A further objective was widening application of the Integrated Catchment Simulator (ICS) to conditions in Central and Southern Italy and other European Mediterranean regions. The project also aimed to improve water stakeholder capacities by transferring innovative modelling and monitoring technologies. The document provides an analysis of various measures taken to reduce pollution in receiving water bodies in the 3 pilot areas (Sassari, Pesaro and Caltanissetta). The analysis includes also a cost benefit analysis of the two types of tanks considered in the project.
