DP01813105_ROVESCALA_V_LE_FRASCATI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rovescala, Lombardy

DP01813105_ROVESCALA_V_LE_FRASCATI is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Rovescala, a small town in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of 138, reflecting its role in a rural or small-scale community. Its designed capacity of 138 cubic meters per day aligns with the modest scale of the local population. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for smaller agglomerations. This level of treatment ensures high-quality effluent, reducing pollutants such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which is particularly important for protecting sensitive water bodies. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local hydrological network, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin, the largest river system in Italy. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protect downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through the Po Valley and empties into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports extensive agriculture and is ecologically sensitive due to nutrient pollution risks. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce the impact on downstream aquatic habitats and the marine environment.
