The term ''riva'' (pl. ''[[Rive|rive]]'') refers to a [[Docks|dock]] that is made out of stone and has steps that go from [[Street|street]] level to the [[Canal|canal]]. Another type of ''riva'' is a [[Docking Location|docking location]] at the end of a street where there are no steps. Some of the lower steps may be covered with algae or wet so one should take caution when loading and unloading on lower steps of a ''riva''.<ref>Duffy, Jill, Justin Gagliardi, Kate Mirtle, and Amanda Tucker. "Re-Engineering the City of Venice S Cargo System for the Consorzio Trasportatori Veneziani Riuniti." (2001).</ref>

Each ''riva'' is classified into one of ten categories described below.

Throughout Venice, there are 29 ''pontili''. Since there are only certain canals in Venice that can fit ''pontili'' there are fewer ''pontili'' in Venice than ''[[Fondamenta di Carico/Scarico|fondamenta]]'' and [[Riva (Dock)|''riva'']].

[[File:Fondamenta di carico1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|An example of a ''Fondamenta di Carico/Scarico''.]]

A ''fondamenta di carico/scarico'', or known more simply as a ''fondamenta'', is any strip of sidewalk along a [[Canal|canal]] where there is the ability for a boat to secure itself to the [[Docks|dock]]. The material used to create a ''fondamenta'' is Istrian stone and/or brick for the base and the surface is usually paved with trachite or porphyry. One way to think about a ''fondamenta'' is as a loading zone where spots are convenient for people such as [[Cargo|cargo]] drivers to unload items from their boat. Drivers are also able to load and unload their boats to islands without it protruding into the canal. Not having a dock that protrudes into the [[Canal|canal]] is important for some parts of Venice because some [[Canal|canals]] are narrow and if the [[Docks|dock]] protruded into the [[Canal|canal]], it could cause that [[Canal|canal]] to be inaccessible to other boats.<ref>Duffy, Jill, Justin Gagliardi, Kate Mirtle, and Amanda Tucker. "Re-Engineering the City of Venice S Cargo System for the Consorzio Trasportatori Veneziani Riuniti." (2001).</ref>

==Condition Ratings==
When surveys are conducted, the condition of each ''fondamenta'', their condition was noted according to the scale below.

<div>3 - Good</div>
<div>2 - Average</div>
<div>1 - Poor</div>

==Usability Ratings==
Another piece of data that is recorded with each survey is the usability of a ''fondamenta''. Its usability was noted using according to the scale below.
