Overview
BOJANO_STROFFELLINI wastewater treatment plant serves Bojano, Molise, Italy. It treats wastewater for approximately 7,956 people under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
BOJANO_STROFFELLINI is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Stroffellini locality of Bojano, in the Molise region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,956 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional wastewater management infrastructure. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment based on the sensitivity of the receiving environment. For smaller agglomerations, secondary treatment is typically mandated unless the discharge is into a less sensitive area. It operates within Italy's national implementation of the directive. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Biferno River or other regional waterways. The Molise region features a mix of mountainous terrain and agricultural plains, and the plant plays a role in protecting local streams and groundwater from nutrient pollution and pathogens. Its operation supports the ecological health of the downstream watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local watercourses that are part of the Biferno River basin, which flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea. The downstream environment includes agricultural areas and small settlements, where maintaining water quality is important for irrigation and local biodiversity. The region's aquatic ecosystems support fish populations and migratory birds, making effective wastewater treatment essential to prevent eutrophication and contamination.
