The Limentra orientale (also: Limentra di Treppio) is a mountain river in Italy, a right tributary of the Reno. Its valley runs roughly from southwest to northeast, on the north side of the Apennine Mountains.[1] Its upper valley is part of the Natura 2000 protected area Tre Limentre – Reno.[2] Near Suviana is a 97 m (318 ft) high dam, creating one of the largest reservoirs of the Apennines, Lake Suviana, with a capacity of about 46,000,000 cubic metres (1.6×109 cu ft). It was built between 1928 and 1932 and is used for hydropower.[3][4] The Bargi hydroelectric power station, site of a deadly explosion in April 2024, is situated at Lake Suviana.[3] The Limentra orientale enters the Metropolitan City of Bologna near Lentula and Treppio. It flows into the Reno after 41 kilometres (25 mi), near Riola di Vergato.
