DP01908501_ROBECCO_D_OGLIO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Robecco d'Oglio, Italy

DP01908501_ROBECCO_D_OGLIO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Robecco d'Oglio, a municipality in the province of Cremona, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,069 and has a designed capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day, with an actual discharge volume of 409.59 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for sensitive areas. For a small agglomeration of this size, the directive mandates appropriate collection and treatment systems. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies 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 the local hydrographic network within the Po River basin. The Po River is the longest river in Italy, flowing from the Alps to the Adriatic Sea. Its delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory bird species. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in the Po River and its delta.
