Cascata delle Marmore is a man made waterfall in Italy, made by the ancient Romans to prevent wetlands from forming. The water comes from the Velino River. The water passed through the Piediluco lake and then pours into the Nera River. Today the falls are mainly used for hydroelectric power for the region. The falls are turned on twice a day on a set schedule for visitors. When the falls are about to be turned on, an alarm is sounded and then the gates are opened. Visitors are allowed to hike up to the top of the falls on a path.
