DP01708001_GOTTOLENGO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Gottolengo, a town in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,735 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. As a small agglomeration, the plant is required to provide appropriate treatment in line with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). Italian plants of this scale typically employ secondary treatment to meet discharge standards for inland waters. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that drain into the Po River basin, ultimately reaching the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is Italy's longest river and supports extensive agricultural and ecological systems, making proper treatment essential for protecting downstream water quality and biodiversity.

The plant's treated effluent flows into the Po River basin, which is the largest river system in Italy, draining into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical water resource for agriculture and industry in the Po Valley. Proper treatment helps mitigate nutrient loading and pollution in this ecologically sensitive watershed.
