Overview
CORESE_TERRA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in Fara in Sabina, Lazio, Italy, serving approximately 1,000 people. It operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
CORESE_TERRA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Fara in Sabina, in the Lazio region of Italy. The facility serves a population of approximately 1,000 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under European Union classification. Its location in the Sabine Hills provides a rural setting typical of central Italy. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal (nitrogen and phosphorus) to protect sensitive receiving waters. The plant has a designed capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day and discharges a volume of about 198 cubic meters per day, indicating substantial reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber River flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea, making downstream water quality important for both ecological and recreational uses. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects the aquatic environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Lazio and into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Rome. The Tiber River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the region. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, protecting downstream ecosystems and the coastal marine environment.
