Project 1029,1 GWh
The Lago di Santa Croce is a semi-natural lake in the province of Belluno, Veneto, northern Italy. t was originally naturally a smaller lake, but was expanded with a dam during the 1930s. The area is quite a windy location and as such is a popular sailing, watersports and kitesurfing location. During summer the area is heavily exploited by tourists. Lake Santa Croce, with a water capacity of about 120 million cubic meters, barred to the north by a dam that raises its level to 386 m, is also the vital center of the Piave - Santa Croce hydroelectric plant system managed by Enel with a total average annual production of 1029.1 GWh. I decided to show the hidden side of the lake photographing the seabed that becomes visible in the periods in which the area is emptied of water showing the signs of artificial and tourist exploitation.
