Abstract
Water is both a finite good and a public resource to save, however it is more and more lacking. The ineffective water system in the agricultural sector is the first responsible of this lack. In a context of sustainable farming, the most important aim is to rationalize the use of water by developing drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. The goal of this work is to analyse water sector of the province of Cuneo. This territory feels the lack of water, due to time-lag between maximum need and water availability. In particular, this article shows how an effective irrigation system is crucial to mitigate water shortage.File in questo prodotto:
