Alzaia del Sile Cycle and Pedestrian Path
Highlight • Cycleway
It flows with a certain sinuosity from west to east and, once it reaches the capital of the Marche, it bends in a south-east direction towards the lagoon.
It once flowed into Portegrandi di Quarto d'Altino, but in 1663 the Serenissima diverted its course via the Taglio del Sile canal, which transferred its waters to the old bed of the Piave, which in turn was diverted further east (so the last stretch is also called Piave Vecchia). It finally flows into the Adriatic, dividing the Lido di Jesolo from the Cavallino coast (port of Piave Vecchia).
In Portegrandi, however, the old course is still followed by a branch, called Silone, which gives access to the lagoon (nautical traffic is regulated by locks). The Silone proceeds through the marshes and is extended by the Borgognoni canal-Burano canal, which leads to the Treporti canal and, finally, to the lido port.
The entire course is protected by the Sile River Regional Natural Park. As regards the reclamation consortia, its hydrographic basin is divided between the Piave and the Acque Risorgive.

Silea Hydroelectric Power Plant
Highlight • Monument
In operation since 1954, it exploits a water drop of 3.8 m without resorting to penstocks. Driven by two Kaplan turbines, it produces a power of almost 1750 kWh. The electricity produced is fed into the local 15 kV distribution network directly on site. The plant immediately returns the swirled waters back to the Sile river. Downstream of the plant there is a specific climbing ladder for eels and lampreys.
Today it is licensed to SIAD.
