Provincial Water Day

An event dedicated to water in the heart of Val Trompia

The Provincial Water Day is the event that the Province of Brescia dedicates each year to water resources, hosted in turn by a municipality in the territory. In 2026, it's Lumezzane's turn, a populous center in Val Trompia in the province of Brescia, to host the event for two days that intertwine technical reflection and widespread celebration, involving institutions, water service managers, schools, and citizens.

The technical conference at the Odeon Theatre

The first day is reserved for professionals. At the Odeon Theatre on Via Marconi, a technical conference is held dedicated to the theme of micro-pollutants in water, with presentations on models, analysis, and mitigation strategies for these substances increasingly present in groundwater and water bodies. It is a moment of discussion among technicians, engineers, and administrators, complete with professional training credits for participants, which testifies to the concrete and current dimension of the water challenge in the Brescia area.

The public festival at Parco Don Gnocchi

The following day, attention shifts to Parco Don Gnocchi, where the event opens to the city. From the morning, information stands, workshops on water and the circular economy, activities for children, and guided tours of the area come to life. The heart of the day is the DegustAcqua workshop, created in collaboration with MUSE of Trento, which invites participants to recognize and "taste" different waters. There will also be live radio, a food area, bouncy castles, face painting, and soap bubble shows, culminating in a final concert that closes the day with music.

Know to Protect

The initiative was born with a clear objective: to bring citizens closer to the value of water as a common good, explaining its cycle, management, and threats. In Lumezzane, a municipality with a strong industrial vocation, the event takes on particular significance, reminding us how water quality is linked to human activities and the collective responsibility of the entire provincial territory of Brescia.
