Environmental policy and administrative management

Agriculture is the main activity of production in the Prefecture of Melfi Deputy. Land grown es are made are basically vall es receipt between the hills. During the rainy seasons, powerful torrents flowing flanks of these mountains can take everything including crops all levels of development. They are ravines, gullies or soil d s cap taking place or mark fields s grown. In s seasons tasks, dry, hot, powerful winds cause significant erosion which (d) destroyed and ass che soil and fact dispara tre quickly l surface water and vegetation v.

To combat these gradations of lands d, farmers farmers proc tooth traditionally, by the construction of micro successive dams, to first split and therefore decrease the strength of the torrents and then retain a sufficient water and land on the crops.
