This work is focused on the strategies and modern tools applied in Apulia region (Southern Italy)for water saving and mitigation of drought. The operative programs for improvement of land and water management embrace the principles of sustainable development and recognize integrated, dynamic, interactive, multi-scale and multi-sectorial approach as the best management option. Irrigation management is based on the interaction of agronomic and engineering parameters at different scales aiming at a balance between water demand and water supply. Mitigation options are analysed scaling up the agronomic practices and water saving strategies while scaling down the engineering solutions for a more efficient water supply. Two examples of implementation of the activities are presented: the first is related to the development of the regional GIS-based irrigation management system and the second to the real-time monitoring of water availability and irrigation water requirements in the Consortia Bonifica della Capitanata.
