The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant plays a key role in maintaining the ecological health of this important watershed.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows 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 provides critical habitat for migratory birds. The watershed is heavily utilized for agriculture and industry, making effective wastewater treatment essential to prevent nutrient pollution and protect downstream water quality.
