The River Tiber that flows through
Rome is the world's cleanest river, at least for 56km of its
406km length, central Apennine river basin authorities said
Thursday.
"The Tiber is a clean river: if we only took the 56km stretch
from Castel Giubileo (on the outskirts of Rome) to the mouths at
Ostia and Fiumicino, the Tiber would be the cleanest river in
the world, thanks to the purification activity done by ACEA over
the last 15 years," they said.
"Giant steps forward have been taken from this standpoint."
Central Appenine District Basin Authority Secretary General
Erasmo D'Angelis described the Tiber as "a safer, cleaner river,
to be lived".
