The BAGNO DI ROMAGNA wastewater treatment plant is located in Bagno di Romagna, a town in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 7,657 residents, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU classification. Its location in the Apennine foothills places it within a sensitive inland watershed. As an Italian wastewater treatment plant serving a population between 2,000 and 10,000, the facility is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This directive requires secondary treatment for discharges into freshwater and estuaries for agglomerations of this size. Regulatory compliance ensures appropriate treatment standards are met. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Savio River basin. The surrounding area is characterized by mountainous terrain and forested landscapes, contributing to the ecological sensitivity of the receiving waters. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream aquatic habitats and water quality in the Emilia-Romagna region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Savio River basin, which drains eastward through the Apennine Mountains into the Adriatic Sea near Cesenatico. The Savio River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish species. The watershed's mountainous terrain and forested catchments make it sensitive to nutrient loading and pollution, requiring effective wastewater treatment to maintain ecological balance.
