DP01802303_BRESSANA_BOTTARONE_VIA_ARGINE_COPPA - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Bressana Bottarone, Italy

DP01802303_BRESSANA_BOTTARONE_VIA_ARGINE_COPPA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Bressana Bottarone, a town in the province of Pavia, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 52 people, reflecting its role in a rural or small-scale community setting. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. This level of treatment is typical for plants discharging into sensitive areas under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant has a designed capacity of 52.00 cubic meters per day and currently discharges 10.29 cubic meters per day, indicating ample capacity for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important watersheds. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities along its course. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River supports a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish species and wetland habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea and maintaining the ecological balance of the Po delta.
