DP01703705_CAPRIANO DEL COLLE VIA DALLA CHIESA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Fenili Belasi, Italy

The DP01703705_CAPRIANO_DEL_COLLE_VIA_DALLA_CHIESA wastewater treatment plant is located in Fenili Belasi, a locality within Capriano del Colle, in the Lombardia region of Italy. This facility serves a small population of 95 people, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. The plant is situated at Via Carlo Alberto dalla Chiesa, managed by Anvalmec Srl. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. It operates well below its capacity. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this are required to provide appropriate treatment, and advanced treatment aligns with sensitive area requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems, including the Po Delta, a region of high ecological importance supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory birds.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Po River basin, Italy's largest river system. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, creating the Po Delta, an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and serves as a critical migratory corridor for birds. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality and biodiversity.
