DP01711701_NAVE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Nave, Lombardia, Italy

DP01711701_NAVE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Nave, a municipality in the province of Brescia, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 8,843 residents, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. It is situated inland, about 50 km from the coast, and its operations are integrated into the regional water management infrastructure of Lombardia. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it falls under the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this scale. Italian plants of this size typically employ secondary biological treatment to meet national and EU standards. The plant is part of the broader wastewater network managed by local authorities in the Brescia area. The treated effluent from DP01711701_NAVE 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 operations contribute to protecting the water quality of these downstream environments.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Po River basin, the largest river system in Italy. The Po River flows through the Po Valley, a densely populated and agriculturally intensive region, before emptying into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports a variety of fish species and provides irrigation for extensive farmland. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain the ecological health of the river and its delta.
