The Po Delta Interregional Park is a proposed agency in Italy for a joint administration of the two Po Delta Regional Parks now separately administered by Veneto and Emilia-Romagna regions. The new agency will operate in concert with the Italian Ministry of the Environment in order to better protect the river Po and its basin in the provinces of Rovigo and of Ferrara.
Years of controversies and diatribe initially prevented to the two regional administrations and the provincial and communal administrations finally led to a combined management agreement for the protected area of the delta of the Po, defined as being of irreplaceable natural, landscape and historical interest. The Po Delta, a World Heritage Site, is also a centre of strong economic interests. For instance there are immense areas of peach breeding and cultivation, energy production centered at the thermoelectric plant at Porto Tolle and tourist interests.

The Panaro is an Italian river and the final right-hand tributary to the Po, discounting the Cavo Napoleonico canal.

The Po is the longest river in Italy. It flows eastward across northern Italy starting from the Cottian Alps. The river's length is either 652 km (405 mi) or 682 km (424 mi), if the Maira, a right bank tributary, is included. The headwaters of the Po are a spring seeping from a stony hillside at Pian del Re, a flat place at the head of the Val Po under the northwest face of Monviso. The Po then extends along the 45th parallel north before ending at a delta projecting into the Adriatic Sea near Venice.
