Water and energy are interconnected elements that are inextricably linked. Italy has a hydroelectric heritage that accounts for one-third of our country’s renewable energy, but the drastic changes in how water becomes available at altitude—such as the increase in extreme events, both droughts and thunderstorms—are having a significant impact on production.
To avoid losing freshwater sources, it is essential to understand the pathways of rivers and to analyze the critical issues clearly. "Following the Water Upwards" serves as a point of reflection on the waterways of Trentino Alto-Adige, presenting an unprecedented dialogue between a cartographer and an engineer.
