Particular notes
The activity carried out concerned the modernization of the irrigation system, by replacing two pumps.
Particular attention was paid to improving energy efficiency, as well as managing the irrigation system, using particularly high-performance pumps and extremely sophisticated control systems, for better exploitation of the water resource.
Curiosity...
The pumping station, which uses water taken from the Mincio river, is an important distribution system for irrigation water resources, serving a strategic agricultural area, located in the southern part of Lake Garda.
Given the high management costs of a plant of this capacity, the activity was directed towards a significant improvement in the efficiency and management of the system.
