Orco, Alpine waterway in Graian Alps, Piedmont, Italy.
The Orco River flows through a 90-kilometer course from Gran Paradiso mountain slopes to the Po River near Chivasso in northern Italy.
The river received its Piedmontese name 'Eva d'òr', meaning 'Water of gold', due to the presence of gold-bearing sand extracted since ancient times.
The river shapes local activities with numerous hydroelectric facilities, including six major dams that generate power for the surrounding communities.
The waterway maintains an average discharge rate of 23.9 cubic meters per second and includes multiple tributaries such as Piantonetto, Eugio, and Soana.
The river system features elevation changes from 2,600 meters at its source to lower levels, supporting diverse ecosystems throughout its drainage basin.
