(photo by Anthony Wells) The 'Law of 8 August 1985 No 431 'better known as Law Galasso indicates environmental standards for various categories of so-called public goods including water courses. But because the standards of protection and respect. What are the aims of the legislature. The infer from a synthesis which seems fitting
Law No. 431/85, known as "Law Galasso, is the first organic law for the protection of natural features of the Italian territory, have a decisive impact in the field particularly difficult relations between State and Regions. The standard classifies as natural restrictions a number of areas identified in block and morphological categories without the need for any further formal action by the government. As regards penalties, the law provides that the conviction, the Magistrate also orders the throw in the pristine state of the places at the expense of the offender. The building works will always be bound in places as possible but at the express prior authorization of the competent regional authorities. These authorizations are subject amongst other things, review and verification by the Ministry for Cultural and Environmental Heritage, are capable of binding to mandatory compliance by individual municipalities can not issue permits and authorizations, in turn, in contrast with that decision or lack of it. '
But in addition to protecting the law tends to preserve the area as a whole and, with regard to water courses, is particularly important as that is, to prescribe and' absolute 'to build in an area in the 150 meters from the banks or the bed of watercourses. This requirement is set, paradoxically, also the protection of 'works of man' because of the rivers in relation to weather conditions and the intensity rainfall, must be able to flow freely in so-called areas of flooding that are periodically flooded and then, again, abandoned by the water. The work of man, on riverbeds, often does not allow these normal adjustments fluviali.Costringere water rivers or in restricted areas within the concrete beds can contribute to the safety of those specific sites, but refer the problem upstream or downstream such works. The water can not be stopped and if the containment works have not been thoroughly studied cause disasters of which we often witness in Italy. That 's what is happening these days on the river Farfa. The floods are a natural phenomenon and as expected, related precisely to rainfall, we must respect the natural flow of water except where there is no real risk to residential areas or other situations. But in our case, some companies have built illegally and without logic, walls and various works in the vicinity of the riverbed. More than 150 meters in the standard, there are only a few centimeters away from the river course. And then that happens here is that in case of flood water 'clumsy' does not contain, and where it can be. But this is nothing. In its course in the fall brings with it what he found along the way: dirt, pollutants or not, several wrecks. Everything. In this way the water before and after the river bed, are full of 'rubbish'. These 'debris' may affect the life of the local fauna and flora and, among other things, we must remember that in those places, in summer, many people will spend a few moments of relief from the summer heat, will go to bathing in eat some good lunch, to spend with friends and family and enjoy carefree moments of 'their property'. Who will tell these people that their beautiful river is becoming a mess and nobody cares beyond the usual, boring ... environmentalists
None. Even this beautiful river is considered disposable as everything now. A well of irresponsible consumption.
