Monitoring Water Reservoirs in Southern Italy and Fighting Water Scarcity

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Water scarcity in Sicily, exacerbated by climate change, irregular rainfall and inefficient waterworks networks, poses significant challenges to the region's water system, particularly affecting agriculture. This paper explores the monitoring and management of Sicilian water reservoirs, highlighting the importance of accurate and timely data. By analyzing water levels and rainfall patterns, sustainable management strategies can be developed to mitigate drought effects. The study emphasizes the use of modern technologies for effective monitoring and provides recommendations for a sustainable water future in Sicily.
