DP01612002_GRUMELLO_DEL_MONTE_CAMPAGNA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Grumello del Monte, Lombardy

DP01612002_GRUMELLO_DEL_MONTE_CAMPAGNA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Campagna locality of Grumello del Monte, in the province of Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 9,832, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As an Italian plant, it operates under the national transposition of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations between 2,000 and 10,000 population equivalent, the directive requires appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment, unless the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas, which would mandate more stringent tertiary treatment. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant watersheds. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities along its course. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream environment.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic species and is important for irrigation and drinking water supply in the Po Valley. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
