The Metauro river basin
Most of the Metauro river basin extends within the province of Pesaro and Urbino (Marche, Italy); only a fraction of its northern section is in Umbria and Toscana (Italy). Its area covers 1400 Km2.
The basin can be divided in :
- a low and medium sub-Apennines section, from the Adriatic sea to the Rio Puto and T. Tarugo, tributary streams, with hills that reach the coastal area, where a flood plain widens on the shore and merges with the adjacent plain created by the T. Arzilla (a small stream);
-
- a high sub-Apennines section, from Rio Puto and T. Tarugo to the Cagli – S.Angelo in Vado line, with mountains up to 1000 m., hills, and valley bottom areas;
-
- an Apennines section, from the Cagli-S. Angelo in Vado line until the watershed with the Tiber river, which contains mountains up to 1700 m, hills and valley bottom areas.
