Lake Bilancino Risks Drying Up. It supplies water to Florence, Pistoia and Prato

Lake  Bilancino  Risks Drying Up. It supplies water to Florence, Pistoia and Prato Due to the lack of rain, the lake that supplies water to the provinces of Florence, Prato, and Pistoia risks being emptied. Experts say that the lake will be emptied by November if the rate of water use continues without rain, and also there will be other negative effects.

The waters of the lake have been becoming cloudier due to the erosion of the ground nearby from a variety of impacts. There are many things that can be done to prevent this damage. If the highways do not follow the rules, the competent parties should intervene with more force and determination.
