DP01706603_DELLO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Dello, Lombardy, Italy

DP01706603_DELLO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Dello, a municipality in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,300 people, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this small agglomeration. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 3,500 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 652.69 m³/day, the facility operates well within its capacity. As an Italian plant, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on population equivalents and receiving water sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities along its course. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically important region.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is Italy's longest river and supports a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish species and extensive wetlands. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loads, mitigating eutrophication risks in the Adriatic coastal zone.
