Pilot Site #2: Brenta (IT)

River basin in the Veneto region (Italy) where drinking water for over 1.5 million people and irrigation for intensive agriculture rely mainly on groundwater and spring-fed wetlands. The pilot addresses groundwater decline, ecosystem pressures and fragmented responsibilities by combining ERC-based tariffs, digital monitoring tools and a new multi-actor governance committee.

An interactive calculator was developed with Etra SpA, the Consiglio di Bacino Brenta and the technical support of Etifor | Valuing Nature. The tool allows users to explore the annual cost of the integrated water service, compare their water consumption to the local average, and better understand how water tariffs are allocated.
