The MTI-4 for the period 2024-2029 lays the foundations for a more resilient water service capable of responding to the challenges related to climate change.

Restoration of natural capital, construction of large reservoirs, promotion of wastewater reuse, energy neutrality, development of renewables, management of urban drainage, are all ingredients of a holistic and sustainable approach to the industrial development of the sector. Environmental sustainability passes through coordinated planning at the various levels of governance and and requires industrial actors capable of deploying all the tools made available by national regulation.
