Hydrological Balance and Water Resource Availability: 2025 Update, Seasonal Forecasts and Climate Projections

Mar 24, 2026 09:00 AM — Mar 24, 2026 01:30 PM Rome, ISPRA headquarter

On the occasion of the celebration of World Water Day, ISPRA intends to present the 2025 update of the estimates of the components of the hydrological balance and the natural availability of renewable water resources provided by the BIGBANG model – GIS-Based Hydrological Balance at the National Scale on a Regular Grid. The presentation will also include assessments of the 2025 drought conditions and long-term hydro-climatic statistics.

The BIGBANG assessments at the national and river basin district scale for total precipitation, evapotranspiration, aquifer recharge, and water resource availability (the so-called “internal flow”) constitute the official national data for the WISE SoE – Water Quantity (WISE-3) data flow and for the evaluation of the Water Exploitation Index Plus (WEI+), within the framework of the Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC, as well as for the reporting requirements of the OECD/Eurostat Joint Questionnaire on Inland Waters.

Furthermore, starting from the National Statistical Programme 2023–2025, the National Hydrological Balance indicators produced through the BIGBANG model constitute official statistics within SISTAN – the National Statistical System.

Every spring, millions of people in Italy have to deal with allergies and respiratory disorders related to the presence of pollen in the air. But how well known and adequate are the tools currently available? And which information is truly useful for those conducting research, those involved in public health prevention, or those who manage allergenic risk on a daily basis?

To answer these questions, a national survey targeting the community of pollen data users was carried out within the framework of the CAMS National Collaboration Programme Italy—an initiative launched by ISPRA in collaboration with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)

Dronitaly, now in its eleventh edition, confirms itself as the leading event for the professional drone community. With the participation of leading Italian and international companies, the event represents a strategic platform for fostering dialogue and collaboration among operators, institutions, and sector stakeholders.

The event will explore new frontiers in environmental monitoring, showcasing practical examples of the use of drones for the acquisition and management of information in support of institutional decision-making processes. This will follow the entire operational value chain, from procedure management to surveying, data processing, and the delivery of information products.

On 11 and 12 March, ISPRA and SNPA are organizing the conference “The new ‘eyes’ of environmental monitoring: how technological innovation supports institutional Earth observation activities,” structured into two sessions.
