Tepice, Creek in Moncalieri, Italy
The Tepice is a creek that flows through Moncalieri, stretching across several kilometers through the region. It passes through both open areas and built-up zones as it makes its way toward larger waterways.
The creek has existed for centuries as part of the Piedmont landscape. Its course and character have been modified over time through human settlement and development in the area.
Local environmental groups initiated water quality monitoring programs in 1996 to address the condition of the Tepice basin and raise community awareness.
The creek is accessible year-round as it runs through the open landscape. Spring and early summer bring higher water levels, while drier months make the paths along the banks easier to walk.
The Tepice merges with the Po River at an elevation of 221 meters, just meters away from where the Banna River joins, despite maintaining separate drainage basins.
