DP01709901_MAIRANO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pievedizio, Lombardia

DP01709901_MAIRANO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Pievedizio, a locality within the municipality of Mairano, in the province of Brescia, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,389 residents and has a designed capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day, with a reported discharge volume of 670.90 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's advanced treatment level suggests it may be located in a sensitive area requiring nutrient removal. 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 life and agricultural activities along its course. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream environment.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Po River basin, Italy's largest river system. The Po flows through the Po Valley, a densely populated and agriculturally intensive region, before entering the Adriatic Sea via a delta. The advanced treatment level helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic, a semi-enclosed sea with sensitive coastal ecosystems. The plant's location in Lombardia, a region with significant industrial and agricultural activity, underscores its importance in maintaining water quality in the Po basin.
