The Orco (Eva d'òr, that is Water of gold in Piedmontese) is an Italian
river. It originates in the glaciers of the Piedmontese slopes of Gran
Paradiso, and after about 90 km (56 mi) reaches the Po River near Chivasso.
Its drainage basin is home to the most important complex of hydropower in
Piedmont, consisting of five dams: Agnel, Serrù, Ceresole, Piantonetto,
Valsoera, and numerous turbines.
The Orco is known also for its gold-bearing sand, extracted already in
antiquity. Even today there is a certain activity, on an amateur level,
searching for grains of gold.
