Plima

BW

The Plima ( Italian: Rio Plima ) or Plimabach in South Tyrol Val Martello (Italy ) is a 28.5 km long tributary at the headwaters of the river Adige.

The Plimabach drained a date in the Ortler Alps area of 162 km ². At the upper reaches in the Hintermartell Plimabach was jammed because of the flooding, which originated before the snow melts in the spring in Zufrittsee and used to generate electricity. Due to the events in the neighboring Valtellina the full dam was opened in emergencies after prolonged rainfall in the summer of 1987, whereby 16 houses were destroyed.

Tributaries are the Rosimbach, the Soybach and Flimbach. Main towns on the Plima are Gand and Liar's Dice in the community Martell and Morter in Laces in Val Venosta.
