DP01715201_PRALBOINO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pralboino, Lombardy

DP01715201_PRALBOINO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Pralboino, a town in the province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of about 3,200 and has a designed capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, with a discharge volume of 636.65 m³/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 advanced treatment for sensitive areas and agglomerations of this scale. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, a major watershed in northern Italy. The Po River flows into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities in the region.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which is the largest river system in Italy, flowing eastward into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River and its tributaries support extensive agricultural irrigation and provide habitat for fish and bird species. The advanced treatment helps protect water quality in this ecologically and economically important watershed.
