DP01906802_PERSICO_DOSIMO_PERSICHELLO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Persichello, Lombardy

DP01906802_PERSICO_DOSIMO_PERSICHELLO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Persichello, a frazione of Persico Dosimo in the province of Cremona, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,022 and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. It has a designed capacity of 1,300 m³/day and currently treats a daily volume of about 400 m³, indicating ample reserve capacity. As an Italian plant, it operates under the national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately 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 ecosystems and agricultural activities along its course. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect these downstream environments from nutrient pollution.

The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Po River basin, the largest river system in Italy. The Po River flows into the Adriatic Sea, supporting ecologically sensitive delta wetlands and coastal habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in the Adriatic Sea and protecting biodiversity in the Po Delta.
