DP02000802_CANNETO_SULL_OGLIO_LOC_BREDA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Canneto sull'Oglio, a town in the province of Mantova, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of 4,605, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Italian and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 5,000 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 911.63 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As an Italian facility, it operates under 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 the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin. The Po River is Italy's longest river and flows into the Adriatic Sea. The advanced treatment helps protect the water quality of the Po River and its delta, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and bird species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality and the marine environment.
