Consorzio Di Bonifica Dugali Naviglio Adda Serio

What Consorzio Di Bonifica Dugali Naviglio Adda Serio does

Consorzio di Bonifica Dugali Naviglio Adda Serio is a public economic consortium (ente pubblico economico a carattere associativo) established by Decree of the President of Lombardy Region No. 7173 on 6 August 2012, headquartered in Cremona, Italy. It is the official water management and land reclamation authority for a territory of approximately 170,000 hectares of agricultural land in the Cremona province, serving agricultural landowners and farmers as well as 25 municipalities in the Foce Morbasco service area. Core operations revolve around operating the Foce Morbasco pumping station (drawing water from the Po River), managing the Adda-Serio gravity-fed canal network, and coordinating water allocations from Lake Como and Lake Iseo, the latter two via the upstream Consorzio dell'Adda. The consortium also handles hydraulic infrastructure maintenance, drainage, and flood prevention across the territory.

The revenue model combines mandatory annual consortium contributions (Contributi di Bonifica, classified as oneri reali a natura tributaria and set under the Piano di Classifica adopted October 2022) with usage-based irrigation fees and supplementary irrigation charges to recover extraordinary pumping energy costs (€12.00/ha or €/l/s for out-of-season usage). Members access personalized irrigation schedules (cartolina-orario) and payment notices through the "La mia situazione" online portal at dunas2017.public.i4it.it, authenticated by Tax Code and Account Number. The organization is governed by a 15-member Board of Directors (12 elected, 3 appointed by Comuni, Regione, and Provincia), with Spoldi Giannenrico as President for the 2023-2027 term. The consortium operates as a territorial monopoly with only 7 direct employees and is a member of ANBI Lombardia, the national association of Italian land reclamation and irrigation consortia.
