DEPURATORE DI MORI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Mori, Trentino-Alto Adige

DEPURATORE DI MORI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mori, within the Trentino-Alto Adige region of northern Italy. The facility serves a population of around 13,422 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. Its location in the Adige River valley positions it within a sensitive alpine watershed. As an Italian plant, DEPURATORE DI MORI is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treatment processes and capacity are designed to meet these regulatory standards, ensuring compliance with national and EU environmental norms. The treated effluent from DEPURATORE DI MORI is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately flow into the Adige River, one of Italy's major rivers. The Adige drains into the Adriatic Sea near Venice, making the plant's operations important for protecting both the local alpine ecosystem and the downstream coastal environment. Proper treatment helps safeguard water quality in the Adige basin, which supports diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities.

DEPURATORE DI MORI discharges into tributaries of the Adige River, which flows through the Trentino-Alto Adige region and into the Adriatic Sea. The Adige basin is an ecologically sensitive alpine watershed that supports diverse fish species, including brown trout and grayling, and provides habitat for migratory birds. The plant's treatment performance is critical for maintaining water quality in this river system, which is also used for irrigation and recreation downstream.
