The Carmason Draining Pump, also known as the Augusta Draining Pump, is one of the main historic hydraulic systems on the Venetian mainland, built to control water flow in reclaimed areas. The structure, still imposing today, testifies to the ingenuity with which the landscape was shaped to coexist with water and the lagoon. The cycle path that runs alongside it follows the banks through fields and canals, offering a peaceful route immersed in nature.
