A Safe Model Thanks to Interconnections

Abstract

The territory of Langhe and Roero, with the town of Alba in the middle, is a unique model for the importance and variety of water supply resources. Nevertheless, without a rational project of connections and interconnections, management of the municipal aqueducts and consortia system would not be safe. Over the years, the companies of the EGEA group have implemented interventions and created works that, in supplying about 200,000 inhabitants, surely have also supported the growth of the area in its expansion from a purely agricultural vocation to the one of International gastronomic and hospitality excellence it enjoys today, as recognized by UNESCO heritage. Today, there are resources from alpine springs, deep wells and surface waters, fully interconnected due to the central fulcrum of the aqueduct system: pumping, transportation and treatment equipment were realized according to the best construction techniques. It all started with the experience of several water technicians within the EGEA Group, under the guidance of Eng. Emanuele Carini, who first wanted and conceived this project. In fact, as far back as 2000, Mr. Carini had already set the full design and the development guidelines of the project in a publication entitled “Il sistema delle acque potabili nell'ambito Langhe-Roero”.
