Canale scolmatore
The Corno is a torrent with peculiar characteristics that extends for about 40 km, starting from the Municipality of Treppo Grande and flowing into the Tagliamento at Codroipo. The stretch of the route that crossed the Rive d’Arcano area has always been affected by flooding phenomena following heavy rains that caused considerable inconvenience to the community. It was decided to implement changes to the route to avoid this problem but all the projects proposed from 1930 did not develop until 1985, when the Region appointed a working group to study a feasibility project. Delegate to carry out the works was the Alto Friuli Hydraulic Reclamation Consortium which launched a tender for the drilling of a tunnel from San Mauro to Aonedis which had to convey the excess water collected in a basin directly in the Tagliamento. The work was contracted out to the Vidoni business association of Udine and Valsesia of Turin. Work began in 1993 and ended in 1999, and came into operation in 2004.
