Fire (Very) and water (little): the usual summer
It is now the roar of the helicopters and the arrival of candidates to annnunciare summer. Once they were cicadas.
As in other parts of Italy our hills burn daily with someone who, for their own interest, the estate passes to find the right wind and the forest right to destroy.
Behind every fire is a man who hopes to benefit from the scorched earth and that is why the law prohibits, in burned areas, any activity (for 5 years) survey these areas torched and enforce this law would be a deterrent (possibly) might get some effect, and therefore it grazing animals, let alone its development (such as chalets Chiavinato!) should be no place in the burned areas. It 'an effort that has never been but the fact that if a tourist wants to have Lenola, can not be postponed.
tourist About the water issue even more these days, is making life difficult for those living in Lenola. It is not a "water emergency" because an emergency is a great thing and we are now the norm. E 'useful to return to the fact that the situation has worsened in recent years and that water should have been the priorities of the various administrations, but is still worth reflecting on water, public or private (Acqualatina).
few days we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of water at Lenola. Before that date the water was to take from wells or from rainwater tanks that many houses had (what a mistake abandon !!!!).
After 50 years (at least for drinking water) instead of going to the pits, you go to the supermarket to fetch water by spending money on something that, at least for 30 years, was all for "free." Italy is the European country where it consumes more bottled water and just see how much corporations spend to advertise the various "holy water" to figure it out!
Often the same multinational (such as Vivendi), which sells bottled water is also a member in good managers of water systems (such as Vivendi Acqualatina) and you understand that there is a lot of convenience for them to pull out of the tap water.
One thing that makes the situation well is related to the percentage of water that is lost: in 2004 (data Acqualatina!) Was 63% (in Lenola is 65%!) While in 1987 (ISTAT) was 28% (in Lenola was 42.66%).
So we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the arrival of water at Lenola reflecting on the fact that we are celebrating a major public works and 50 years ago that if the management had already been a privately owned (Acqualatina type) with the cabbage that would lead to the 'water to Lenola.
