Preview at Flowpath 2025: the new Hydrogeological Map of Italy at 1:500,000 scale

Jun 11, 2025 — Jun 13, 2025 Torino

ISPRA will present the new Hydrogeological Map of Italy (CII500K), the cartography that maps the country's groundwater, during the scientific conference Flowpath 2025, scheduled in Turin from 11 to 13 June. This is an important milestone for the knowledge, management and protection of groundwater at a national level.

The CII500K was born from an intense collaboration between ISPRA and the University of Milan - Department of Earth Sciences "Ardito Desio", as part of a research agreement aimed at systematizing and harmonizing regional hydrogeological knowledge on a national scale, and was also achieved thanks to both the scientific and economic contribution of the CARG Project.

Egadi Islands Marine Protected Area: the ELPIS II wreck

Jun 10, 2025

In April, during a series of aerial survey operations for the mapping and characterization of coastal habitats along the entire Italian coast at very high resolution, a new survey of the ELPIS II wreck was carried out, confirming a well-preserved and still intact structure.
The wreck had already been identified by ISPRA using underwater photogrammetry and multibeam surveys, in collaboration with the Carabinieri Subacquei units of Rome and Messina.
Sunk in 1978, the ELPIS II lies on the seabed within the Marine Protected Area of the Egadi Islands, southwest of Isola Formica. The wreck is located at a depth of 16 meters, with the shallowest point just 8.5 meters from the surface. It rises about 8 meters from the seabed and measures approximately 53 meters in length by 11 meters in width.
