Proper treatment is essential to protect coastal water quality and the region's tourism and fishing industries.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the coastal region of Calabria, near the Tyrrhenian Sea. Treated wastewater likely discharges into a local stream or directly into the sea, affecting the coastal marine environment. The area supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and invertebrates, and is important for local fisheries and tourism. The Tyrrhenian Sea is a semi-enclosed basin with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution from wastewater discharges.
