The incessant rains of the last few hours have further swollen the Volturno River, which has burst its banks in the bend in the Grazzanise area.
Coldiretti Caserta estimates that from the point of the flood to the mouth in Castel Volturno the water invaded at least 700 hectares of agricultural land, drowning and destroying vegetables and cereals, but also invading companies and stables.
"The situation is worrying ," reports Giuseppe Miselli, provincial director of Coldiretti, " and we are assessing the damage and needs through our local offices. The images from above are shocking; the river has burst its banks for dozens of meters on both banks.
It's impossible to estimate at the moment, but we're talking about millions of euros. An assessment will need to be made with the Prefecture and the Region in the next few hours . "
The wave of bad weather hit the whole of Campania with violent manifestations that caused landslides, mudslides and floods with uprooted plants, entire cultivated fields flooded including orchards, vineyards and vegetables and greenhouses.
The situation in the region, Coldiretti reports, remains worrying in the area of Capaccio and Paestum in the Salerno area, where the Sele river has burst its banks, flooding the crops of winter vegetables and the greenhouses where fourth range vegetables are grown, while in Sannio the damage caused by the flooding of the Calore river is being counted, which has invaded around 200 hectares of vineyards between Paupisi and Solopaca.
