Emergenza siccità e il Ticino in sofferenza, Confagricoltura: ''Occorre cambiare approccio''

Journalistic in-depth analysis aimed at informing and contextualizing a topic of public interest. The red alert shows no signs of abandoning Pavia, and people are fighting the extreme heat as best they can, holding fans and seeking shade. A huge beach has appeared, ironically, right at the foot of the Washerwoman statue in Borgo Basso, due to the rapid decline of the Ticino River. And it is precisely the state of the river that perfectly captures the emergency we are experiencing. The snow is melting as early as March, and by May, the ancient ice is being compromised. It's as if we were going to the bank to withdraw family savings: the future can only be taken for granted. A situation, Lasagna explained, for which we are unprepared both in terms of infrastructure and mental approach. It is therefore necessary to plan for the future but also to intervene in the short term.
