Water and soil preservation represents a challenge for humanity, being part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals envisaged in the UN 2030 Agenda. In particular, with regard to the theme of water, such Objectives emphasize the need to intervene to improve water quality by reducing pollution; protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including rivers and lakes; support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water management. In this perspective, the River Contract represents a voluntary bottom-up programming instrument aimed at the protection and management of water resources and the enhancement of river systems by integrating in a balanced manner the three dimensions of sustainable development: - economic, social and environmental. In fact, national and UE rules underline the relevance of the adoption of River Contracts as innovative governance instruments, since they are capable of building integrated strategies aimed at the redevelopment and management of the environmental and landscape quality of a river area through the involvement of the local whole community represented by public institutions, private subjects and citizens. In view of these brief considerations, this paper will address the analysis of different governance cases applied to the River Contracts as adopted in central and southern Italy to deal with the challenges of protecting and safeguarding river basins and their ecosystems.
