DP01519501_S_GIULIANO_M_SE_OVEST is a wastewater treatment plant located in San Giuliano Milanese, in the Lombardia region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 23,125 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU standards. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional wastewater infrastructure managed by local authorities. As a plant serving over 10,000 people, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment as a minimum. For agglomerations of this size, the directive also mandates appropriate treatment before discharge into freshwater bodies. The plant's design and operational practices are expected to comply with these standards to protect water quality. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant river systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities along its course. The plant plays a crucial role in maintaining the ecological health of this watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic species and is important for regional agriculture and biodiversity. The plant's treatment processes help reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication and contamination.
