As a detailed example, The “Salzano wetland” restoration was completed by the consortium which was, until the mid-1980s, subject to mining of clay. Since this period this 60 ha site has gradually been restored. Today this site is characterized by a mosaic of habitats of different spatial extent. The main actions of the project were: a) to create a system of new banks around a dry and with low ecological value portion (20 ha wide) of the extent wetland, and later to connect this area with the adjacent watercourse using gates to manage flows; b) reshaping the net of canals, ponds and pools inside this area to find the optimal residual time of the water to assure an efficient nutrient reduction; c) re-establish rare and endangered aquatic vegetation types (Carex elata, Cladium mariscus, Allium angulosum, Cirsium canum, Senecio paludosus, Typha laxmannii, Iris pseudacorus and Nuphar luteum) and monitor their development; d) create a new net of small channels to connect this restored wetland to the other portions; e) create a net of path and observation structures accessible to the public for recreation, educational and technical-scientific purposes.
