District Po — Delimitation Hydroecoregions (HER) 2018

Following the meeting of the Permanent Institutional Conference on 23 May 2017, the District Basin Authority of the Po River has become operational, replacing the Po River Basin Authority to which the interregional basin basins of the Rhine, Fissero-Tartaro-Canalbianco, Conca-Marecchia and the regional Romagnoli basins are annexed. To a large extent, the perimeter of the area of competence coincides with the boundary of the river basin. The differences have been introduced to take account of particular administrative needs. For example, Italian municipalities on the national border are fully included within the Po River Basin Authority even if they have portions of territory in other basins. The District Reference Limitations are: — the International District which considers the entire territory of the Po Basin which includes French, Swiss, and San Marino territory, including the part of Italian territory falling within the Rhine and Danube basins — the Italian District only which considers only the Italian territory of the Po Basin, including the municipality of Campione d’Italia, excluding San Marino, including the part of Italian territory falling within the Rhine and Danube basins For the Reference Limitations, the District Demarcations of the Hydroecoregions 2014 have been redefined: 58 — ADRIATIC ITALIAN COAST — Italian Adriatic Coast 63 — PIEMONTE Apennines — Appennino Piemontese 64 — Apennines N — North Apennines 62 — MONFERRATO — Monferrato 107 — INNER ALPS -S — Southern Alps 56 — PO PLAIN — Po Valley 2 — calcareous SOUTHERN ALPS AND DOLOMITES — Prealps and Dolomites 106 — INNER ALPS — E — Central-Eastern Alps 1 — INNER ALPS — Western Alps 122 — Ligurian ALPS — Mediterranean Alps
