Overview
DINAMI_CANNATA is a secondary treatment plant serving Dinami, Calabria, Italy. It treats wastewater for a population of 1,000 with a designed capacity of 1,000 m³/day.
DINAMI_CANNATA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Dinami, a town in the province of Vibo Valentia, Calabria, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,000 people, reflecting its role in a small agglomeration within the region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity of 1,000 m³/day aligns with the population served, and the reported discharge volume of 197.96 m³/day indicates operational activity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant's location inland (more than 10 km from the coast) reduces direct marine impact, but the receiving water body supports local aquatic ecosystems and contributes to the broader Mediterranean basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a watercourse that flows through the Calabrian region and eventually reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea. This coastal sea is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse marine life and important fisheries. The secondary treatment level helps reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids, protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
