The drought emergency in the Po district remains serious: the flow rates are still very low, the withdrawal has not been reduced, as requested weeks ago, and the saline wedge - the advance of the sea in the delta - is over 30 kilometers, altitude record.
The absence of rain remains, despite the storms of the last few hours having restored the flow, and very high temperatures.
This is the synthesis of the Observatory on the Po which has returned to meet today.
Meuccio Berselli, secretary of the Authority, warns: "Problem only postponed for 10 days if the measures decided are not respected", that is the reduction of water withdrawal by 20% on available water.
