DP01703902_CARPENEDOLO ZONA NORD EST TEZZE - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Carpenedolo, Italy

DP01703902_CARPENEDOLO_ZONA_NORD_EST_TEZZE is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the Tezze area of Carpenedolo, a municipality in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of 2,927, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Italian and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 2,500 m³/day and a reported discharge volume of 579.44 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities along its course. The advanced treatment helps protect these downstream environments from nutrient pollution.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea via the Po Delta. This watershed supports extensive agriculture and ecologically sensitive wetland habitats, including the Po Delta Regional Park. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in the Adriatic Sea and protect biodiversity in the delta's lagoons and marshes.
