DP01614901_ONORE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Onore, Lombardia

DP01614901_ONORE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Onore, a municipality in the province of Bergamo, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of about 10,394, classifying it as a medium agglomeration under EU regulations. However, under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, agglomerations of this size are required to provide secondary treatment as a minimum, with more stringent requirements if the discharge is into sensitive areas. The plant discharges into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin and then into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River basin is a major agricultural and industrial region, and the plant's operations contribute to protecting water quality in this ecologically and economically important watershed.

The plant is located inland in the Lombardia region, within the Po River basin. Treated effluent likely flows into local streams that feed the Po River, which is the longest river in Italy and drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po basin supports intensive agriculture and diverse aquatic life, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
