On September 29th 2020 Associations and Public Entities signed the Risorgiva Contract as a part of Life Risorgive Project.
The Risorgiva Contract is a voluntary agreement defining a common strategy for the preservation, management and enhancement of local territory and water resources. It also aims to contribute to the protection and local development of the concerned area.
Several public authorities, municipalities and associations have decided to sign the Risorgiva Contract developed within Life Risorgive project, committing themselves to protect the Resurgences and the local environment.
Among signatories there are the four project partners – Municipality of Bressanvido, Veneto Agricoltura, Consorzio di Bonifica Brenta and Aquaprogram – plus several local Municipalities, Land reclamation and Water authorities, trade associations and others public and private entities. Total signatories, at the end of the event, were about thirty.
We thank all the participants of the event, for their commitment, and for their cooperation in respecting distances and hygiene standards.
The Handbook has been realized within the action E5 of the project Life Risorgive, and it is the main technical dissemination tool of the project.
This manual provides simple and operative information in order to combine hydraulic feature and habitat conservation, relying on revitalization experiences carried out with actions C of the project and with support from existing literature. It is a helpful tool for landowners and farmers, in particular for the proper management of linear tree-shrub systems.
This handbook provides information clear and easily understandable by non-specialist about the habitat identification, it suggests management procedures designed to preserve biodiversity and to maintain habitats over the years, respecting hydraulic requirements. It also explains how to build ex-novo pieces of habitat, by directly increasing plant species and helping indirectly animal species.
This proposed approaches, even if based on the experience carried out in Bressanvido. are applicable also in other similar territories.
