The Lago Pozzillo is the largest reservoir in Sicily . It is fed by the Salso river , a tributary of the Simeto , which should not be confused with the Salso river of the same name .

The dam was completed in 1959. The water from the reservoir is partly used for irrigation in agriculture and partly for electricity generation.
