Downstream of the town, in the Mercatale valley, is an artificial lake originated by the construction of a dam that blocks the flow of the river Foglia. The dam was built in the 1950s. The basin contains about 6 million cubic meters of water, and is used as an irrigation source. The water of the lake is conveyed by gravity in a turbine for the generation of electricity.
