Rio Colorio, on the other hand, originates upstream of the residential area of ''Poggio Alto'', crosses the meadows between the center of Nebbiuno and the hamlet of Campiglia and flows into Lake Maggiore north of Meina. Rio Strolo is an important tributary of Rio Colorio and crosses the historic center of Nebbiuno. Other streams in the area are Selva Nocca, Valle and Rio Valcabbia, which are tributaries of Tiasca. Riale Tiaschella originates in the woods above Fosseno and flows into Vevera, an important tributary of Lake Maggiore, which also touches the city of Arona. Rio Valdolera flows in ''Costa Maca'' and flows into Agogna along with Cerusca after marking the border between Nebbiuno and Armeno for a stretch.
