Our civic monitoring will deal with the project Opencoesione called "Works for eliminating the obstruction of River Salso's mouth". We will focus our attention on the river crossing Licata, our town, its history and relevance to the territory. Licata is an ancient town which over the centuries has been inhabited by different peoples from many parts of the world. The keywords of our research are: sustainability, environment, respect, history and safety.
The project we are monitoring has been financed with 400.000€. The contextual information will be searched on websites, portals, online newspapers. The aim of our monitoring is to let people understand the importance of making the river safe, preventing hydro-geological disasters.
We will involve experts on the theme. In order to engage our citizens we will organize a photo exhibition and a talk in the City Council, surveys and interviews.
Our research could make citizens be aware of public and European funds. People could get informed about the importance of a river in a town. If the river ecosystem was respected, the city could take many advantages especially for tourism, watersports and fishing. It could be interesting both for ordinary people and the town administration, since its safety could improve everyone's quality of life.
