DP01704301_CASTENEDOLO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Castenedolo, Lombardia, Italy

DP01704301_CASTENEDOLO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Castenedolo, a town in the province of Brescia, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 11,220, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU regulations. As an Italian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local watercourses that flow into the Po River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The Po Valley is a densely populated and agriculturally intensive region, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for protecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

The plant is located in the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important watersheds. Treated wastewater from the plant likely flows into tributaries of the Po River, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po Valley supports intensive agriculture and diverse aquatic life, and nutrient pollution from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in the Adriatic. The plant's operation helps mitigate these impacts.
