During the year, by means of the Acea Ambiente Company Acea partnered with institutional bodies to carry out projects of public utility, including: the reuse of poor quality water with the application of technologies borrowed from the aerospace sector, able to facilitate the availability of water for urban or rural use with reduced cost and time in the event of a water crisis; the efficiency of water systems with the aim of developing a model for the active control of the water network following a smart grid logic; the improvement of water infrastructure resilience and protection in the event of climate change; the creation of new purification systems, for example for the city of Benevento; the redevelopment of areas of environmental interest, such as the water catchment area of the Sarno river.
