The Alesani River (French: Rivière d'Alesani, Corsican: Fium'Alesani) is a river in the Haute-Corse department in the island of Corsica, France.

Location

The Alesani River is 24.49 kilometres (15.22 mi) long.[1] It rises to the southeast of the 1,712 metres (5,617 ft) Monte Muffraje.[2] Its source is at an altitude of 1,653 metres (5,423 ft).[3] In the upper part of its course it is called the Busso.[4] The river flows northeast to Piobetta, then southeast to the coast. To the north of Chiatra the river is dammed to form the Réservoir d'Alesani.[2]

Communes

The valley of the Alésani is part of the Castagniccia.[4] The river crosses the communes of Chiatra, Novale, Ortale, Perelli, Piazzali, Pietra-di-Verde, Pietricaggio, Piobetta, Sant'Andréa-di-Cotone, San-Giuliano, Tarrano and Valle-d'Alesani.[1]

Management

The Comité de bassin de Corse was created by the Corsican law of 22 January 2002.[5] It defines the main principles of managing water resources and protecting the natural aquatic environment of Corsica. The Agence de l'eau Rhône-Méditerranée et Corse serves the committee and the Corsican territorial collectivity.[5]
