	Ticino
		Wedge shaped, Ticino protrudes into Italy to the west and south and is bounded by the cantons of Valais and Uri to the north and Graubünden to the northeast.
		The chief system is that of the Ticino River, which rises in the northwest, flows east through the Bedretto valley and then southeast through the Leventina valley, receiving the left-bank tributaries Brenno (from the Blenio valley) and Moesa (from the Mesolcina valley) before curving westward above Bellinzona to enter the lake from the east.
		The western part of the canton is drained by the Maggia and its numerous right-bank tributaries, and the Verzasca valley lies between the Ticino and the Maggia.

		The former tobacco-growing areas in the Mendrisiotto, and the Magadino Plain, which used to be swampland before it was drained, are the main areas of fiat land that are fertile and agriculturally cultivable in the canton.
		Among these are the two lakes at the foot of the Alps where the Ticino borders on Italy: Lake Maggiore, broad and majestic, nestling among the last of the Alpine foothills, and the contorted and somewhat confusing Lake Lugano, which lies between the majestic peaks of Monte Bra, San Salvatore, San Giorgio and Monte Generoso.
		Incidentally, in the Ticino it is still possible to find seemingly endless and wonderfully quiet valleys filled with sunshine and sub-Alpine vegetation, crossed by extensive, if semi-overgrown, footpaths, and these can be just a few kilometres from noisy motorways, railways and all the other intrusive accoutrements of Western civilisation.

		It takes its name from the Ticino river, the whole upper course of which (the Val Leventina, with its side glen of Val Blenio, the so-called Riviera, extending from Biasca to near Bellinzona, and the bit beyond Bellinzona), till it swells into the Lago Maggiore, is within the canton.
		Not far from the head of the Lago Maggiore the lake is increased by the Maggia torrent which is formed by the union of the torrents descending from the mountain glens known as the valleys of Locarno, save the Val Verzasca, the stream from which falls into the lake without joining the Maggia.
		Save the Ticino valley between Biasca, Bellinzona and Locarno, and the environs of Lugano, the canton is principally composed of hills and mountains, and is therefore poor from the material point of view, though rich in fine scenery.

		Because of flow characteristics of Ticino river, which has a behaviour more like a stream, the uniform flow is not representative of the real discharge conditions, especially during low flow periods.
		In Ticino river low discharge often flows in separate river channels; in other cases, where the main river cross section is very large and uniform, the current flows only in the middle of the section with very low depth; sometimes, because of riffle and pools morphology, the current can be somewhere very decelerate.
		The branch n°4 is located downstream the more critical part of the river; the discharge are there higher than the DMV (minimum vital discharge) range values, because most of the derived water is there returned into the Ticino river.
