In search of new water supplies

The search for new drinking water reserves by land and in the lake continues thanks to LakEMaging, the three-year research project co-financed by Acque Bresciane and led by the University of Milan.It is a similar operation to that of the Skytem dowsing helicopter, which flew over our territory with a huge radar last winter. This time, however, the technicians used a boat that can also reach protected areas, including the Sebino peat bogs, where the noise of the aircraft would have disturbed native fauna.

Collaudata la rete idrica Monte Isola - Sulzano

On November 30, 2023, the water network connecting Monte Isola and Sulzano was tested, a demonstration of synergistic work between the two municipalities and Acque Bresciane.The intervention presents a dual functionality, namely the enhancement of the available flow rate for the Sulzano aqueduct and the availability of a new source of supply for the Monte Isola aqueduct, which today uses surface water and is therefore more vulnerable than from a spring.Final closure of the work is expected by March 2024.
