DP01703302 Calvagese della Riviera Mocasina - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Lombardy, Italy

DP01703302_CALVAGESE_DELLA_RIVIERA_MOCASINA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the Mocasina locality of Calvagese della Riviera, in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of 1,652, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Italian and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Its designed capacity is 1,000 m³/day, with a reported discharge volume of 327.04 m³/day, indicating operational capacity well within design limits. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect sensitive downstream ecosystems, including the Po Delta, a region of significant ecological importance supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory bird species.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po Delta is a vital ecological zone, supporting extensive wetlands, fish nurseries, and migratory bird habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in the Adriatic Sea and preserve water quality in the downstream riverine and coastal environments.
