Situated at an altitude of 119 m a.s.l., the Simeri works complete the water diversion and intake scheme of 4 m3/s discharge earmarked for the irrigation of the coastal area from Copanello to Tacina river in Catanzaro district (Photo 1). Due to environmental issues, the whole water flow is diverted from works situated at an altitude of 152 m a.s.l. (see Card n. 5).
The project envisages a new weir (Photo 2), substituting an older provisional intervention (Photo 3); a water intake work and a settling basin, both of which on Simeri river right bank. Regulated by a set of gates, the outflow is finally poured into the pre-existing pipeline of the Simeri Valley (DN 1400; L = 12 km), by which the coastal area distribution network is supplied.
CESECO Int. delivered the detailed design together with the preliminary environmental impact analysis. The Consorzio di Bonifica profited also of CESECO Int. consultancy for the designs submission to S.I.I.T. (Ministry of Infrastructure) for its preliminary investigation.
