DP01703303_Calvagese della Riviera Carzago - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Lombardy, Italy

DP01703303_Calvagese della Riviera Carzago is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Calvagese della Riviera, in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of 1,853 and has a designed capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day, with a discharge volume of 366.83 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), advanced treatment is required for discharges into sensitive areas, such as lakes or rivers feeding into the Adriatic Sea. Although the specific receiving water body is not named, the plant's location in the Po River basin suggests it contributes to the protection of the Adriatic Sea ecosystem. The treated effluent from the plant ultimately drains into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The plant's advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream waters.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and bird species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps control nutrient pollution, protecting the downstream environment from eutrophication and maintaining water quality for both ecological and human uses.
