Creazzo Via Brescia Wastewater Treatment Plant, Creazzo, Veneto, Italy

The Creazzo Via Brescia wastewater treatment plant is located in Creazzo, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 10,987 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated in the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. As an Italian wastewater facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 15,000. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the discharge enters sensitive areas, such as those prone to eutrophication. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards. The treated effluent from the plant ultimately flows into the Po River basin, which is the largest river system in Italy. The Po River discharges into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and important migratory corridors. The Veneto region's water infrastructure plays a key role in protecting the ecological health of the Po Delta and the northern Adriatic coastal environment.

The Creazzo Via Brescia plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River supports a rich ecosystem, including fish species such as sturgeon and eel, and its delta is an ecologically sensitive area for migratory birds. The plant's operations help reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Adriatic coastal zone.
