The Rovasenda is formed in the eastern and hilly part of the
Alpi Biellesi from the
confluence of three streams; Riale Ravasanella, Rio Valnava and Rio della Valle. The stream is initially named
Torrente Giara and gets the name of
Torrente Rovasenda near a town of the same name,
Rovasenda. Heading south it crosses the Baraggia heathland and then the
paddy fields of the
province of Vercelli. Near
Villarboit the Rovasenda is overpassed by
Canale Cavour (one of the main irrigation canals in Italy) through a
water bridge. In its lowest course the stream receives the waters of several small canals and part of its water is diverted for irrigation purposes. Not far from
Collobiano the Rovasenda end its course flowing into the
river Cervo at 141.1 matres s.l.m. == See also ==
