The Bevinco is a small river in the northeast of the Haute-Corse department on the French island of Corsica. It is the main tributary of the Étang de Biguglia, the largest wetland in Corsica.

Location

The Bevinco is 31.23 kilometres (19.41 mi) long. It rises on the eastern slopes of the 1,469 metres (4,820 ft) Monte Reghia di Pozzo. It flows in a northeast direction past Murato and Biguglia to enter the Étang de Biguglia, a coastal lagoon protected as a nature reserve, which drains into the Mediterranean Sea through its north end. The Bevinco is the main tributary of the lagoon. It crosses the communes of Bigorno, Biguglia, Furiani, Lento, Murato, Olmeta-di-Tuda, Piève, Rutali and Vallecalle.

Hydrology

Measurement of the water flow were made between 1960 and 2021 at the Olmeta-di-Tuda station. The watershed at this point covers 65.6 square kilometres (25.3 sq mi). Annual precipitation was calculated as 412 millimetres (16.2 in). The average flow of water throughout the year was 0.697 cubic metres per second (24.6 cu ft/s).
