Premier Paolo Gentiloni on Monday
said the government has allocated 4.5 million euros to reduce
waste in water supply networks.
"The budget law provides for a plan against drought, to
exploit 2,000 small and medium-sized drainage basins", Gentiloni
also said during a congress in Rome on 'Water and Climate:
Meeting of the great rivers of the world".
The intense drought Italy endure this summer highlighted the
need for improvements to the water system to cut down
significant waste.
Rome came close to having water rationing at one stage.
