Canale Cavour, Irrigation canal in Piedmont, Italy.
The Canale Cavour extends for 83 kilometers from Chivasso in Turin province to Galliate in Novara province, crossing through 23 municipalities.
Construction of this water infrastructure began in 1863 under engineer Carlo Noah's supervision and reached completion in 1866, employing numerous manual laborers.
The canal system demonstrates nineteenth-century Italian engineering methods through its 210 siphons, 101 bridges, and 62 canal-bridges spread across the landscape.
The waterway maintains a maximum flow rate of 110 cubic meters per second, providing essential irrigation to rice fields in Vercellese, Novarese, and Lomellina regions.
Four specialized siphon tombs enable the canal to pass beneath multiple rivers, while four canal bridges carry it over other water courses.
