Lake Bolsena, data released by Legambiente in this week and reported by the local press have triggered several red flags. Same thing, even if minor, to Lake Vico. We reconstructed what happened to provide the public with accurate information on the situation.
Lake Bolsena, data released by Legambiente in this week and reported by the local press have triggered several red flags. Same thing, even if minor, to Lake Vico.
The rope has told a few days ago the Green Schooner data, reporting the results of the sampling carried out by the association environmentalist (read)
He then tried to frame the information within the context, especially with regard to Bolsena. Taking care to avoid alarmism effect, always lurking in these cases. Especially taking into account the impact of a news like that of a polluted lake ends and have, inevitably, on the local business supplying services to tourists: camping, accommodation, bars, restaurants and other (laws).
This newspaper tried to open a serious reflection on the issue, just to avoid being the instrument of damage to the various interests at stake and at the same time provide the information as correct as possible to readers who perhaps spend their days in the lake and there bathe (laws).
Then Legambiente released data in an official statement and reappeared news "vociferous". The editorial staff of The Rope has instead taken a few hours of time, by not posting notice of Legambiente (read) and trying to understand better what is happening. Precious time. Meanwhile, yesterday spoke on the subject of the Confartigianato Viterbo director Andrea De Simone (laws), inviting them to avoid alarmism and warning from the damage that you may cause to those who built their work around the lake and of campa tourism.
The facts say that, by Legambiente withdrawals, came up with this situation on Viterbo lakes: 1) On Lake Bolsena 6 points out of 7 have exceeded legal limits resulting "heavily polluted" in terms of the concentration of faecal bacteria. 2) At the Lake of Vico, it obtained a negative result on the two monitors made in Punta del Lago.
The rope went to study the samples, the precise places where they were carried out. Then it analyzed the well-known print of Legambiente. A statement that, if read carefully, not launches alarm on bathing water, does not say that the Lake of Bolsena and Vico are polluted.
It 'made it clear in a passage: "With these results certainly do not give licenses for bathing and we do not want to judge the overall state of water in the various lakes - declared Roberto Chess, president of Legambiente Lazio - but identifying the many critical issues, start paths positive in which governments and citizens to set priorities for the redevelopment, the preservation and revitalization of the beautiful lakes of Lazio and for these we get the first available ".
Commendable. Legambiente has made withdrawals in the vicinity of ditches and drains. Which, by a thorough reading it is said very clearly. In fact, Montefiascone was strongly polluted by fecal bacteria the mouth of the river near the playground. Same goes for the beach in Capodimonte Via Regina Margherita in the vicinity of a drain, in Gradoli in the mouth of the trench gate, in San Lorenzo Nuovo at the mouth of the ditch Bridge and at the canal in Prati Renari.
SEE IN DETAIL THE PLACES OF SAMPLING AND THE RESULTS
Legambiente then focuses attention on ditches and drains that enter the Lake of Bolsena, stressing that there is something wrong with the water purification.
Different thing is get to say that the Lake of Bolsena is polluted or heavily polluted worse. Legambiente which in fact does not say. And that's why the competent authorities, Harp and Asl, have never triggered any bathing prohibition. There is therefore going to see carefully, no contrast between the Legambiente data and the Asl position and Harp. Only a great confusion in the management and dissemination of information.
So they reason that the mayors The rope has contacted in recent days and have reassured on the health of the lake. But the problem was not Legambiente, correct and impeccable in its action, but a question that has hurriedly walked the hand.
