Piped water from Gjirokastra to Apulia/ Italian official-Rama: You will benefit
The idea for the water pipeline Gjirokastër-Pulia

Italy seems not to give up the old idea of ​​building a water pipeline from Albania to Puglia, as its south is increasingly facing drought.

The idea that was once proposed to the former Prime Minister Fatos Nano to bring the source of Delvina's "Blue Eye" with pipelines to the south of Italy, has already been concretized with a study.

According to the president of Apulia Michele Emiliano, as well as the heads of Komfindustria Bari-Bat, 1 billion euros and 4 years of work would be needed to build 85 kilometers of underwater pipelines from Gjirokastra to the coast of Apulia.

"Albania is a country rich in water resources, we are lucky to have very good relations with them. Not only would we solve the problem of water supply, but Albania itself would also benefit, as about 8,000 direct and indirect jobs would be created", said Emiliano, who sent a letter to Prime Minister Edi Rama with this proposal, reports Corriere.it.

"We have a great opportunity to address the water crisis preventively. We can give life to a big and ambitious project: to build an impressive water infrastructure in the Adriatic Sea between Puglia and Albania", said Sergio Fontana, head of the Puglia Confindustria association.
