The pipelines that distribute water in Puglia leaks. The water losses are 70%, while in Abruzzo the corresponding figure is 60%. To give the water to Puglia Abruzzo have to impoverish the water reservoirs inside Gran Sasso (la Montagna Grande). It is estimated that Pescara River will be halved.The governement of Italy has decided to include in the real estates owned by a new society created to manage state belongings the ancient ruins of Alba Fucens (near Avezzano).
