Although policy tools for managing and safeguarding water resources have been implemented at national level for some time, there have been long lasting problems with the implementation and enforcement of rules and regulations at a regional level.

A set of integrated water management plans as well as flood risk management plans are adopted in all regions of the Po river basin. In 2009 all these plans were homogenised into the integrated river basin management plan at District level according to the WFD.

The Po Valley Project is a new integrated project that aims to integrate actions and measures for water quality, flood risk control, cultural and tourism requirements over a 6 year period from 2009 - 2015.
