DEP_COM_PANTANO_FONTANE_NUOVE_STAZIONE_MORELLO - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Rignano Flaminio, Lazio

DEP_COM_PANTANO_FONTANE_NUOVE_STAZIONE_MORELLO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Rignano Flaminio, within the Metropolitan City of Rome, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a small population of approximately 500 people and has a designed capacity of 650 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of about 99 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this one are typically required to provide appropriate treatment, and the advanced level here indicates a high standard of effluent quality. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local hydrological network, which ultimately drains into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber River flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The advanced treatment helps protect the Tiber's water quality and the downstream marine environment.

The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through central Italy and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Rome. The Tiber supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for agriculture and urban use. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in the coastal waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
