Ci sono inondazioni? In che periodo dell’anno? Sono sempre solo dannose?
Are there floods? In what part of the year? Are they always harmful?
Sì, anche se talvolta si tratta di semplici esondazioni stagionali. Ci sono state però nella storia del fiume alcune inondazioni veramente rovinose.
Le più recenti sono state quelle del 1994 e del 2000 ma molti ricordano ancora quella del Polesine del 1951, costata la vita a molte persone.
Le esondazioni avvengono più frequentemente in autunno e primavera.
Yes, although sometimes they are simple seasonal floods. In the history of the river there have been some really disastrous ones.
The last ones have been those of 1994 and 2000, but you can remember the Polesine one, in 1951, that had a high tribute of human lifes.
The floods more frequently occur in fall and spring time.
Ci sono periodi di secca? In che periodo dell’anno e in quali tratti?
Are there dry periods? In what part of the year and where?
I periodi di secca si concentrano soprattutto in inverno e in estate ed interessano in particolare il basso corso del Po, verso il suo delta
The dry periods happen especially in winter and summer, more frequently in the last part of the river, towards its delta.
 
Quali animali e quali piante vivono in questo fiume?
Which animals and plants live in the river?
Anche se l’inquinamento delle acque ha compromesso non poco la fauna del Po, nel fiume possiamo ancora trovare pesci come il pesce gatto, la carpa e le anguille verso il delta.

Lungo le sponde del Po si trovano molti canneti.
Although water pollution has compromised the Po fauna, in the river you can still find fish such as catfish, carp and eel near the delta.
You can find as well fishes like the kingfisher and the “Pendolino”. Finally along the Po banks you can see many cane fields.
 
Quali sono i problemi da risolvere?
What are the problems to solve?
Il problema più grande per il fiume è legato all’inquinamento delle sue acque che purtroppo ricevono, anche attraverso i suoi numerosi affluenti gli scarichi industriali e dell’agricoltura come ad es. i pesticidi e i diserbanti.
Non mancano poi gli scarichi fognari delle grandi città.
Inoltre l’introduzione nel fiume del famigerato pesce siluro che si nutre di qualsiasi forma vivente presente nell’acqua, ha ulteriormente messo a rischio il suo ecosistema.  
The biggest problem for the river is related to its water pollution as it unfortunately receives, through its many tributaries, industrial and agricultural discharges such as pesticides, herbicides, and sewage of major cities.
Moreover, the introduction in the river of the well known “torpedo fish” that feeds of any living form, has further damaged his ecosystem.
 
In quale mare sfocia il Po?
To which sea the Po river leads?

Do you mind if any civilization was born or had been developed on this river?
La civiltà più particolare che si sviluppò circa 3000 anni fa fu quella costituita da popolazioni che abitavano in villaggi di palafitte fortificati (cultura delle Terramare).
Sempre al nord, ma non solo lungo le rive del Po si sviluppò la civiltà villanoviana che soppiantò la cultura delle terramare.
The most important civilization grew around 3000 years ago and consisted of people who lived in villages of fortified piles (culture terramare).
