	Tanaro River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tanaro proper begins in Liguria at the confluence of two small torrents whose sources are in Piedmont: the Tanarello and the Nerone.
		The main tributaries to the Tanaro are the Stura di Demonte from the left, and the Bormida and Belbo from the right.
		During the two hundred year period 1801–2001 parts of the Tanaro basin were affected by floods on 136 occasions, the most devastating being those of November 1994 when the whole of the river valley was affected by severe flooding and the town of Alessandria was especially stricken.

	1994 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Rainfall led to large floods along the rivers and a large number of rock block slides and soil slips on the Langhe hills, with disastrous effects owing to the extension of the territory involved (3700 km²) and to the extent of the damage.
		This was probably because all the tributaries of the Tanaro River reached their maximum level simultaneously; further more the weather front moved northward more or less along the course of the Tanaro.
		Peak discharges of the Tanaro and its tributaries indirectly evaluated or estimated at 11 hydrometric stations.

	Nonnus and the Religion of Minaria (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		The Minarians were sorely chastened and afterwards received Tanaro and Sankari with humility and reverence an the savants did their best to bind the wounds inflicted by the peoples' penance.
		Tanaro is sometimes described as a tall, strong man, sometimes as a man with the head of a sheep, and sometimes as a small, thin man. Sankari is often described variously as a fox, a half-woman, half-fox, and a beautiful maiden.
		Be this as it may, the legends relate that Tanaro and Sankari went about Minaria during the most terrible days of the Abominations' reign of terror, caring for the needy, making food out of thin air, healing the injured and sick, giving the message of the Gulsa's love to those in despair.
