Water flows, water goes down, a principle that has allowed the Cavour canal to flood the rice fields between Novara, Vercelli and Pavia for more than 150 years. Here, where more than 40% of European rice is produced, the man-made landscape bears witness to a delicate balance. In a flow of images, the distribution of water allows us to delve into the complex irrigation network together with its workers.
