The '''Maggia''' is a [[river]] in the [[Switzerland|Swiss]] [[Cantons of Switzerland|canton]] of [[Ticino]].
The springs are near the [[Cristallina]] mountain at 8136
The river is used for [[hydroelectric power]] production, e.g. with the dams of [[Lago del Narèt]] and [[Lago del Sambuco]] near the sources.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Vallemaggia {{!}} Ascona-Locarno|url=https://www.ascona-locarno.com/en/explore/vallemaggia|access-date=2021-09-12|website=www.ascona-locarno.com|language=en}}</ref>
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
In the 1990s the river had a European record: the river that grew fastest during rains. This characteristic led to many tragedies in the past. One involved the collapse of a bridge connecting the old Maggia to Aurigeno and Moghegno which killed many people in the 1970s.
