The Sustainable Development in Trasimeno lake

This extension is accompanied by a shallow (average 4.3 m, maximum 6 m), so that the lakes of Trasimeno is one of the laminar. The Trasimeno Lake is a natural lake with shallow water and flat, bordered by fine beaches. Its basin covers an area of natural feeding of 306 km2, of which 124 km2 occupied by the surface of the lake, its overall average volume of about 586 Mm3. The area was inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the findings are now preserved in the National Archaeological Museum.

Recently, Lake Trasimeno is entered into a new water crisis, perhaps greater than that of the fifties: the current maximum depth is 4.30 meters, but between 2007 and 2008 fell by 78 cm. Since 2006, the Trasimeno is part of the international Living Lakes, a worldwide network of 52 lakes UN award for its commitment to sustainable development of the main lakes, wetlands and other freshwater basins of the world. Within the project called "environmental manifesto" was awarded a quality mark to guarantee and protection of tourists and residents by the companies for compliance with standards and management systems that ensure quality services environment.

The site throughout the project to equip a small fleet of seagoing service of lake boats that only go with rechargeable batteries from the local systems of solar energy.In order to enable adequate monitoring and efficiently the Provincial Administration since 1985 with a modern system batch of data collection and analysis are the basis of current management and the strategic importance of the Lake. It’s the complexity of the case and articulated, albeit in a dynamic equilibrium, management increasingly inspired by the principles of sustainability, making it a case study of relevant interest that we hope think may enjoy experts and ordinary citizens who have care about the future of the entire world in its entirety, essential diversity
