Inspirational ideas: Joining forces for water-related ecosystem services
Description
The middle Brenta river plain in the Italian Veneto region forms a rich ecosystem with environmental, cultural, recreational and agricultural value. Under the title ‘Parco Fiume Brenta’, a LIFE project and Operational Group are working in close synergy to manage the Brenta water resources in a sustainable way.
The Brenta river plain is an ecological corridor for biodiversity, recognised as a Natura 2000 site. It is also a regional source for drinking water, is used for recreation, and about 43% of the area is dedicated to agriculture. LIFE project and Operational Group Brenta 2030 are working together to balance these different land uses and enhance the area’s water-related ecosystem services.
