DP01720101_VILLANUOVA_SUL_CLISI is a wastewater treatment plant located in Villanuova sul Clisi, a town in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,316 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment based on the sensitivity of the receiving water body. For small agglomerations, secondary treatment or equivalent is typically mandated unless the discharge is into a less sensitive area. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin and then into the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the water quality of the Clisi stream and downstream environments, supporting aquatic life and preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Clisi stream, a tributary of the Chiese River, which flows into the Po River and eventually reaches the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish populations and migratory species. The region's agricultural and urban runoff can contribute nutrient loads, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for preventing eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
