	Po River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Po (Latin: Padus) is a river that flows 652 kilometers (405 miles) eastward across northern Italy, from Monviso (in the Cottian Alps) to the Adriatic Sea near Venice.
		The Po valley corresponds to historical Cisalpine Gaul, divided in Cispadane Gaul (South of the Po) and Transpadane Gaul (North of the Po).
		In 2005, water from the Po was found to contain "staggering" amounts of benzoylecgonine, which is excreted by cocaine users in urine.

	Po River
		The Po River flows about 652 kilometers from west to east across northern Italy, from Mount Monviso[?] (in the Cottian Alps) to the Adriatic Sea near Venice.
		It is the longest Italian river and goes through many important Italian towns, including Turin and Milan.
		Near the end of its course, it creates a wide delta (with hundreds of small channels and 5 main ones called Po di Maestra, Po della Pila, Po delle Tolle, Po di Gnocca and Po di Goro), at the southern part of which is Comacchio[?], an area famous for eels.

		The Po River basin is the largest Italian basin, covering an area of 74 000 km2 (70 000 km2 in Italy, 4 000 km2 in Switzerland and France).
		These lakes are directly connected to the main tributaries of the Po River, maintaining a continuous interchange of ground water and surface water between the lakes and rivers.
		The principal farming areas in the Po catchment are localised in the Po valley, covering 45% of the basin’s total area, 50% of which is irrigated.

	Parco del Delta del Po - The Po river
		The river Po is the the largest Italian river flowing into the Adriatic Sea and determinating the articulated territorial system of its delta.
		Around 1000 A.C. numerous accident phenomena were accumulated that affected the form of the delta: by the land reclamations promoted by the Benedectines of Pomposa, the lowering of the ground caused by the water presence found underground, followed by a entering of salt water in the Padana marshes.
		The Po of Goro strengthened and divided to flow with the mouth of Goro and in the south of Abate.

	Italy’s Po River @ National Geographic Magazine
		Although the Po is known to every Italian schoolchild as the country’s longest river, at 405 miles (652 kilometers) long and 1,650 feet (503 meters) across at its widest point it’s a mere rivulet compared with the Nile or the Yangtze.
		The Po’s waters, fed by 141 tributaries draining a catchment basin of 27,000 square miles (70,000 square kilometers), created the Val Padana, the plain that stretches across northern Italy from the French border on the west to the Adriatic Sea on the east.
		They are like the wordless voice of the river itself, a sound that is half water, half wind, or like the tiny ripples that are caused not by the breeze on the surface but by the undulations of the hidden riverbed far beneath.

		The Po is the largest river of Italy, with a lenght of 652 km, a n hydrographic basin area of 70,091 square km, and a mean annual discharge estimated at 1,515 cubic meters/sec (over the period 1918-1981).
		The Po Delta is defined as the peninsula between the Sacca di Goro (south) and Porto Levante (north).
		The lower stretches of the rivers, with their islands, sandbanks and high-water beds, abandoned meandesr and river mouths, and the coastline, with its dunes, lagoons, salt marshes, brackish water bodies, freshwater marshes, and old structures such as ancient littoral belts with their dunes, and palaeo-riverbeds, are all natural geological and geomorphological features of great beauty.

	the po river and its delta
		One of the main characteristics of the Po is its delta, a landscape in constant transformation due to its typical lobed shape caused by the accumulation of sediments.
		The final stretch is typical of water courses found in flat areas: the river is shallow, the water warm and slow-flowing; vegetation is abundant; the river bed is muddy and subject to a wide range of habitats.
		Among these are the twaite shad (a species whose sexually mature adults migrate in the spring to reach their zone of reproduction in the middle stretch of the Po and its affluents), and the Adriatic sturgeon, which likewise migrates from the sea to the river in order to complete its reproductive cycle.

	PO VALLEY 1945
		In addition, the Po River's southern tributaries emerged from the mountains to cross the valley floors, intersecting at possible routes of advance and serving as potential defensive positions.
		The river varied in width from 130 to 500 yards and was often bordered by levees which served as nature fortifications made stronger by field works on both banks.
		To the east, British Eighth Army units were within miles of the Po River by nightfall on 23 April, with the British 6th Armored Division at Bondeno, the 8th Indian Infantry Division ten miles farther east, moving through Ferrara, and the British 56th Infantry Division nearing Polesella, another ten miles to the east.

		KETTNER, ALBERT J. Syvitski, James P.M. Discharge and sediment flux of the Po River, Italy, are simulated to determine the impact of climate change and sea-level fluctuations on the stratigraphy of the Northern Adriatic Sea.
		The drainage area of the Po River, one of the major alluvial systems of Europe, was 2.6 times larger during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), 21kyr B.P. due to a 120m lower Adriatic sea-level (figure 1).
		Hydrotrend, a numerical climate-driven hydrological model, is used to simulate yearly discharge and sediment flux of the Po River outlet since the LGM.

	Parco fluviale del Po tratto torinese - Official pages
		The territory of a river crossing big urban centers is far from the idea of a "nature park" reminding of huge woods, white peaks, and wild animals.
		Nevertheless the Park was established to protect the area from the wild urbanization, the massive cementation of the banks, the pollution of waters, and the upheaval caused by the mining activity.
		The rivers of the Torinese area belong to nature, to suggestive fluvial landscapes, to the sites for the migration of the avifauna.

		This comes at a time when the demand for electricity is soaring as overheated citizens crank up air conditioning units, and power producers have already had to resort to rolling flouts to maintain the system, along with hundreds of megawatts of imported French electricity.
		So the Po appears a clear fl line in both these images, but its course has visibly thinned in the latter image.

		This paper discusses the major features of the Po River basin and the actions undertaken to mitigate the effects of extreme flood events specially those related to the 1994 disastrous flood event.
		River training works started in the Lower Po during the Roman Age and developed upstream, first as discontinuous systems, then connected to form two uninterrupted belts, which have reduced the overflow frequency but also the carrying capacity of the river channel.
		It is clear that the development of traditional structural protection along the Po River has reached a critical stage; a further expansion of the existing levee system will increase the downstream flood risk.

	IUGG 2003 Scientific Program
		The analyses of winter thermohaline properties of the North Adriatic were performed at the transect Po-Rovinj in the 1967-2000 interval, based on the data of temperature and salinity collected primarily at two stations: the first positioned near the Po River mouth (station 5) and the second located close to the eastern shore (station 2).
		Correlation analyses indicate that bottom water properties in February are driven dominantly by fluxes in September (salinity versus water flux) and in June, October and December/January (temperature versus heat flux) at the station 2, and in February/March (salinity versus water flux and Po River discharge) and October (density versus buoyancy flux) at the station 5.
		Correlation with February/March Po River discharges is a consequence of deepening of the waters influenced by Po River, which can be brought to the bottom during the period of vertical instability (February/March), then spreading in the bottom layer and reaching eastern side after a month (April).
