DP01701001_BAGOLINO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bagolino, Lombardia, Italy

DP01701001_BAGOLINO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Bagolino, a town in the Lombardia region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,205 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. Situated in the Valle Sabbia area of Brescia province, the facility is part of Italy's wastewater infrastructure managed by local authorities. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 population equivalents, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment before discharge into inland waters. Italian plants of this scale typically employ secondary biological treatment to meet national and EU standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Po River basin, ultimately reaching the Adriatic Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by alpine terrain and the Caffaro River valley, which supports diverse aquatic life. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality in this ecologically sensitive mountain region.

The plant discharges into the Caffaro River, a tributary of the Chiese River, which flows into the Po River and eventually the Adriatic Sea. The watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems in the alpine foothills, including fish populations such as trout. The region is part of the Po basin, Italy's largest drainage area, which is ecologically significant for migratory species and water quality management.
