Invaders for rainwater harvesting use
Invaders for irrigation systems in agriculture;
The profound agrarian transformations that have occurred at the same time as the development of accumulation works, in many cases precisely because of them, have led to the contraction of natural and semi-natural environments, particularly the rarefaction of wetlands, which have almost everywhere been drained and put into cultivation. This, along with the undeniable economic benefits, has led to a serious loss in terms of biodiversity, of which for some time now agriculture-related environments have also begun to be aware.
In this context,artificial reservoirsmade with HIDROSTAN®geo membraneshave played and play an important vicarious role, representing in many areas the most significant, if not the only, evidence of aquatic ecosystems.
In an area that has become inhospitable to wildlife and particularly to that true wonder of nature that is waterfowl, artificial reservoirs have become the ultimate refuge for many animal and plant species, including rare and endangered ones.
Water storage invaders in mountain area;
The "scarcity" of snow that is occurring cyclically, i.e., the fact that natural snow is not there when economic and tourism needs require it, has led to the realization that snowmaking certainly requires energy and water resources. Ongoing climate change is changing the distribution of precipitation over the seasons, which are characterized by less water in the spring and fall seasons and more frequent between summer and fall; snowmaking therefore during the winter season makes up for the lack of rainfall, guaranteeing the right amounts of water while maintaining the environmental morphological fabric unaltered and achievable through the creation of reservoirs or water reserve thanks to the exercise of putting in place natural rubber waterproof membranes such as HIDROSTAN® epdmgeo membranes. Sheet extensions that meet all needs lead to the realization of a reservoir with no added costs in certain time.
The solution of open-air reservoirs or basins has undoubted advantages, primarily economic, but also related to the multifunctionality of the work, which almost always also becomes a possible storage site as a fire reserve, for use even in marginal agriculture and agro-sylvo-pastoral activities in mountains and tourism.
