The Lova Dam is a hydroelectric facility built in 1935, forming Lake Lova above Borno in Val Camonica. It is constructed of embankments and an earth core, and has a capacity of approximately 80,000 cubic meters.
This dam lies at an altitude of 1,293 meters, in a glacial basin between Pizzo Camino (2,491 m) and Monte Mignone (1,742 m). The reservoir collects the waters of the Lovareno stream, while the outflow is the San Fiorino stream, which flows downstream.
From a technical perspective:
Origin: Artificial, for hydroelectric purposes.
Construction: Earth dam with partial linings.
Central catchment area: approximately 2.6 km².
