The River Basin Management Plan is the planning tool introduced by Directive 2000/60/EC, the Water Framework Directive, transposed into national legislation with Legislative Decree n. 152/2006. The Water Framework Directive (WFD) established a framework for action on water resources to reduce pollution, prevent further deterioration and improve the environmental status of aquatic ecosystem, terrestrial ecosystems, and wetlands taking into account the requirements set out in a series of pre-existing directives.
To this end, the WFD introduced environmental objectives, namely good environmental status for all water bodies (surface water bodies, groundwater bodies) to be reached by specific deadlines. The RBMP is the strategic planning and programming tool to reach the Directive’s objectives at water body level in each River Basin District “area of land and sea, made up of one or more neighbouring river basins together with their associated groundwaters and coastal waters” (as identified under Article 3(1) of Directive 2000/60/EC). River Basin Management Plans are updated every six years (2015, 2021, 2027).
On 20 December 2021, the Permanent Institutional Conference adopted, with resolution no. 25, the second update of the PGA (2021-2027 cycle) published with related notice in the Official Gazette.
The PGA 2021-2027 consists of the following documents:
Plan report and its annexes
Program of measures (PoM)
Plan addresses
Piano dashboard
Following the resolution of CIP n. 25 of 20 December 2021 and the publication of the related notice in the Official Gazette, for the entire district territory – which in this last cycle also includes the former district of the river Serchio – the Plan Guidelines are adopted as an immediately binding safeguard measure and related attachments.
