The Bevinco is 31.23 kilometres (19.41 mi) long.[1] It rises on the eastern slopes of the 1,469 metres (4,820 ft) Monte Reghia di Pozzo. It flows in a northeast direction past Murato and Biguglia to enter the Étang de Biguglia, a coastal lagoon protected as a nature reserve, which drains into the Mediterranean Sea through its north end. The Bevinco is the main tributary of the lagoon.[2] It crosses the communes of Bigorno, Biguglia, Furiani, Lento, Murato, Olmeta-di-Tuda, Piève, Rutali and Vallecalle.[1]
Measurement of the water flow were made between 1960 and 2021 at the Olmeta-di-Tuda [Lancone] station. The watershed at this point covers 65.6 square kilometres (25.3 sq mi). Annual precipitation was calculated as 412 millimetres (16.2 in). The average flow of water throughout the year was 0.697 cubic metres per second (24.6 cu ft/s).[3]
