The spillway No 1, consists of a spillway 34 m long straight, located on the right bank. The tap water is collected by a gutter that directs the tunnel No 1. To prevent the tunnel is pressurized at the end of the gutter has been placed for a sector to restrict the flow transits.

The spillway No 2, consists of a spillway in the field to cup (radius 14.60 m) 30.58 m long, located on the left bank. The tap water is collected in No relief tunnel 2.

discharge of middle distance running, has two lights in the tunnel No grafts 2 at the base of the relief. The two lights are enclosed by two pairs of gates in size 3.20 x 2.40 m

The bottom outlet is formed by a branch that is inserted into the tunnel No 1. In the aforesaid branch is located the control room of the gate-off (2.50 mx 3.60 m).

geological features - Monte Cotugno

The reservoir basin that develops in the clay and clay formations - marly Pliocene-Calabria, and blocked downstream from a tongue of land which has a predominantly stone prepliocenici almost transverse to the trend of the watercourse. The water resistance of different formations than preplioceniche quellle Pliocene-Calabria, gave rise to the early formation of a valley about a mile long and an average width of two hundred meters.
E 'in this valley that developed the survey for the location of the section of the barrier is therefore the result of a choice dictated by the geological and geotechnical characteristics of these formations as well as the morphology of the places. In the section are restricted
Varicolori clays and alternations of sandstone, limestone and marl of flysch prepliocenico marly clay, covered in places by land from extensive landslides and all with very unfavorable geotechnical characteristics, the problems posed technical solutions that would lead to costly and inevitably subject to uncertainty and high risks.
Under the chosen area for the tax instead of the dam follow one another continuously from the valley upstream of the Miocene marl, and sandstone of middle Pliocene marly clays of the Pliocene-Calabria. The dam
committed to the entire width of the complex consisting of two teams both Pliocene land of fantastic features. The second is virtually waterproof. In this training should be to close the seal.
The formation of clay surfaces on taxes while the dam in the valley is covered with gravel-sandy alluvial material transported by the river Sinni and a thickness of around 10 meters.
