Water consumption
One of the environmental aspects for which SEA Group has demonstrated knowledge and care for the longest time is water management. This is a result of a completely autonomous approach to water supply through the construction of a number of wells managed independently, meeting hygienic, sanitary, fire and “industrial” needs of both airports.
The main water sources affected by water withdrawals are the aquifers, tapped through 12 wells located at Malpensa and 8 wells at Linate.
At Malpensa, the aquifer is 51 metres below the surface (from water table measurements made on wells G and L), while at Linate the aquifer is about 5 metres down. Water volumes taken from wells at Malpensa and Linate airports are distributed for consumption through internal aqueducts.
Chemical, physical and quantitative control, as well as rationalisation of consumption, guarantee the greatest attention to this important shared asset.
Water supply of our airports comes through 12 wells located at Malpensa and 8 at Linate, operated independently, meeting hygienic, sanitary, fire and industrial- level needs of both airports.
