Panperduto Dam — Start of the Villoresi Canal
Highlight • Monument
The canal, which runs horizontally from west to east, in the upper plain of Milan, was completed in 1890.
The Industrial Canal: also known as the Vizzola canal, is an artificial watercourse that derives its waters from the Ticino river, through the Panperduto dam near Somma Lombardo, where the waters of the Villoresi canal are also derived[1]. The canal was inaugurated in 1900, with the name of "Vittorio Emanuele III industrial canal", its construction was due to the production of hydroelectric energy. In fact, the industrial canal drives the turbines of three hydroelectric power plants: the Vizzola power plant, the Tornavento power plant and the Castelli di Turbigo power plant. Just beyond this facility the canal branches into 3 channels: on the left most of the water (64 m³/s in summer, 35 m³/s in winter) flows into the Naviglio Grande, which receives its effective flow here; [2] in the centre, however, the Turbighetto discharger originates, having a flow rate of approximately 50 m³/s. This flows into the Ticino, after having activated the turbines of a fourth hydroelectric power plant: the Turbigo Inferiore power plant. The regression channel originates on the right. This third branch flows into the Ticino in the Casa delle Barche area. Through a gravel dam on the Ticino its waters are conveyed into the Langosco canal, activating the Varzi hydroelectric power plant.
