DP01705001_CETO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Badetto, Ceto, Lombardia

DP01705001_CETO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Badetto, a locality within the municipality of Ceto, in the province of Brescia, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of 1,478 and is situated in the alpine valley of Val Camonica, a region known for its mountainous terrain and numerous watercourses. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 1,500 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 292.59 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Oglio River, a major tributary of the Po River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the water quality of the Oglio River basin and the downstream Po River ecosystem, which supports diverse aquatic life and is important for agriculture and tourism.

The plant discharges into the Oglio River basin, which flows through the Po Valley and into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic species and is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural runoff and industrial activities upstream. The advanced treatment at DP01705001_CETO helps reduce nutrient loads and protect downstream water quality.
