The Township stretches to the middle-East of the Ferrarese Province, on a surface of 15700 hectares. Copparo borders with five other towns: Ferrare, Ro, Berra, Jolanda di Savoia, Formignana. The extent of the land is a remarkable fact, considering it is entirely flat and no part of it knows either degradation or neglect. On the contrary, it is strongly urbanized with regard to dwelling, production and agriculture settlements. The territory is crossed by seven provincial roads, which function about 53 Km. long like a realtraffic junction between the centre and the Basso Ferrarese (Ferrara lowland). The overall roadway network is 240 Km long. The distance between the two extreme points of the territory is 30 Km. There are many watercourses as a result of the big land reclamation carried out since the sixteenth century. With regard to the water situation the Township of Copparo lies between the main Po mouth (that is 2 km. far from the northern border, and it is 18 Km long from the East to the West) and the Po di Volano southwards. Big works have beeen carried out in the territory by the Consorzio di Bonifica I circondario of Ferrara to pump and lift the waters for the irrigation during the seasonal floods in the channel network.
