Il bacino del fiume Ofanto non presenta una sola sorgente con elevata portata ma bensì possiede diverse sorgenti sparse all'interno del bacino idrogeologico, la sorgente di riferimento da cui nasce il fiume Ofanto è posta in prossimità dell'abitato di Torella dei Lombardi, in località "fontana che bolle", in destra della S.S. 7 al km 349,1.
Il fiume Ofanto, presenta una lunghezza pari a 170 km, così come si evince dalla delibera di Giunta della Regione Puglia n° 6151, del 26/10/1990 istitutiva del bacino interregionale del fiume Ofanto dove sono anche approvati gli schemi previsionali e programmatici.
L'importanza di questa zona umida, deriva dalla necessità di rinaturalizzare il territorio che a causa dell'eccessiva caccia impedisce la sosta dei migratori, a ciò si aggiunge la presenza d'acque cariche d'inquinanti raccolte da tutto il bacino ed infine alla messa a coltura delle aree golenali con l'originaria vegetazione boschiva oggi completamente distrutta.

 Ofanto - Il Fiume delle civiltà   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Sulle origini del nome Ofanto ci sono molte notizie, in latino era chiamato Aufidus che significa “infido ” ossia che non ci si può fidare (Strasbone, regio II, sotto Augusto), poiché il fiume è impervio, impraticabile in molti tratti: come il tratto adiacente alla costa rocchettana.
Ma ancora oggi il fiume Ofanto è molto pericoloso perché in alcuni tratti si formano dei mulinelli (in dialetto chiamati “chiatr”) che lo rendono impraticabile.
Ma proprio su questo fiume sono nate intere civiltà, come quella Dauna, che ci hanno tramandato le loro tradizioni e le loro usanze.
