DP01905201_GUSSOLA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Gussola, Lombardy, Italy

DP01905201_GUSSOLA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Gussola, a municipality in the province of Cremona, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of about 3,124 people and is part of the region's wastewater infrastructure, which is regulated under Italian and European Union standards. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. It has a designed capacity of 4,000 m³/day and currently discharges an average of 618.44 m³/day of treated wastewater. As an advanced treatment facility, it meets the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas, ensuring high-quality effluent. The treated water is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant watersheds. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the ecological health of the Po River and its delta, reducing nutrient loading and safeguarding downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is Italy's longest river and supports a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish and bird species. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient pollution, helping to prevent eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea and protecting the ecological balance of the delta region.
