This massive drainage system, located in the San Matteo delle Chiaviche hamlet of the municipality of Viadana, provides drainage for a hydraulic basin of approximately 32,000 hectares. It pumps the tributary waters through the Navarolo, Ceriana and Fossola canals into the Oglio river, with a total flow rate of approximately 53,000 liters per second. The plant, in addition to its hydraulic functions, is now home to the interpretation and documentation center of the ecomuseum of Viadana, Commessaggio, Dosolo and Gazzuolo.

In this area you can see various hydraulic engineering mechanisms, placed in correspondence with the watercourse: they are of fundamental importance for regulating the flow and preventing possible floods. The Fossola Canal, in the Municipality of Viadana, is in fact characterized by artificial conditions which can cause safety problems due to bed and bank erosion.

vital structures for local agriculture and the population of neighboring countries. The sewers are real monuments of water engineering for flood control and water flow control
