Last updated

The Italian Union of Agricultural Labourers and Workers (Italian : Unione Italiana Salariati e Braccianti Agricoli, UISBA) was a trade union representing agricultural workers in Italy.

The union was founded in 1964, when the Italian Union of Land Workers split into the UISBA and the Italian Union of Farm Owners and Tenants. Like its predecessor, it affiliate to the Italian Labour Union (UIL). UISBA also represented related workers, such as horticultural workers, agricultural clerks and technicians, and tobacconists. In 1974, the independent Italian Union of Reclamation and Irrigation Workers merged in, and became the subsidiary Italian Federation of Reclamation and Irrigation Workers (FILBI). [1]

The union's last reported membership was 139,669. In 1994, it merged with the Italian Union of Food Industry Workers, to form the Italian Union of Agricultural and Food Workers. [1] [2]

Water reclamation is the process of converting municipal wastewater or sewage and industrial wastewater into water that can be reused for a variety of purposes. It is also called wastewater reuse, water reuse or water recycling. There are many types of reuse. It is possible to reuse water in this way in cities or for irrigation in agriculture. Other types of reuse are environmental reuse, industrial reuse, and reuse for drinking water, whether planned or not. Reuse may include irrigation of gardens and agricultural fields or replenishing surface water and groundwater. This latter is also known as groundwater recharge. Reused water also serve various needs in residences such as toilet flushing, businesses, and industry. It is possible to treat wastewater to reach drinking water standards. Injecting reclaimed water into the water supply distribution system is known as direct potable reuse. Drinking reclaimed water is not typical. Reusing treated municipal wastewater for irrigation is a long-established practice. This is especially so in arid countries. Reusing wastewater as part of sustainable water management allows water to remain an alternative water source for human activities. This can reduce scarcity. It also eases pressures on groundwater and other natural water bodies.
