The reservoir has a surface area of 49 hectares (120 acres) and a capacity of 11,300,000 cubic metres (400,000,000 cu ft).

It was found that sediments at the toe of the dam were up to 15 metres (49 ft) thick, caused by major floods in the previous decade.

[2] In August 2020, towards the end of the irrigation season, the Office d'équipment hydraulique de la Corse (OEHC) began to drain 3,000,000–4,000,000 cubic metres (110,000,000–140,000,000 cu ft) of water from the reservoir, lowering the water level in preparation for further maintenance work.

The southern branch is used to feed the Peri Reservoir in winter, and is interconnected with the south sector of the eastern plain, where the Bravone booster is located.

The Peri reservoir has a pumping station that serves the high parts of the Linguizzetta perimeter.

[8] Invertebrates include copper demoiselle (Calopteryx haemorrhoidalis), willow emerald damselfly (Chalcolestes viridis) and black-tailed skimmer (Orthetrum cancellatum).
