DP01702302_BOTTICINO_SERA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Botticino, a town in the Lombardia region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,057 residents, classifying it as a small-to-medium agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional wastewater infrastructure managed by local authorities. As an Italian plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment based on the sensitivity of the receiving waters. For smaller agglomerations, secondary treatment is typically mandated unless the discharge is into less sensitive areas. It is expected to comply with national and EU standards. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities. The plant's operations contribute to protecting the water quality of these downstream environments, which are ecologically and economically important.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic species and is crucial for irrigation and industry in northern Italy. The receiving water bodies are ecologically sensitive, requiring effective treatment to prevent nutrient enrichment and contamination.
