Caldogno Flood Control Basin
Highlight • Structure
Detention basins are large areas—in this case, low-lying fields—designed to temporarily store excess river water to prevent flooding downstream. When the water exceeds the warning level, intake gates are opened to release part of the flow into these enormous basins; it's essentially a controlled flood. Once the danger has passed and the level has returned to normal, the water is gradually released back into the river through the opening of outlet gates.
The Caldogno reservoir, in particular, consisting of two basins ('casse') dug out of open countryside, regulates the flow of the Timonchio River before it flows a little further downstream into the Bacchiglione, safeguarding the Vicenza metropolitan area. It was built as part of a broader hydraulic safety project by the Veneto Region after the exceptional floods of 2010.
