DP01909801_SORESINA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Soresina, Lombardia, Italy

DP01909801_SORESINA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Soresina, a town in the province of Cremona, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of 9,470, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. It is part of Italy's wastewater infrastructure managed by local authorities. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, it is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. It is expected to comply with national and EU standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that flow through the Po River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the water quality of the Po River system, which supports diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities in the region. Its operation contributes to reducing nutrient and pollutant loads in the downstream environment.

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 species and extensive agricultural irrigation. The plant's location in the Po Valley, a densely populated and agriculturally intensive area, means its effluent management is critical to maintaining water quality in downstream rivers and the Adriatic coastal zone.
