DP02001001_CASALMORO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Casalmoro, a municipality in the province of Mantova, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,134 residents, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this small inland community. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 1,800 cubic meters per day and a discharge volume of 422.46 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of incoming wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, a major hydrological system in northern Italy. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities along its course. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and the ecological health of the Po basin.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is the longest river in Italy and supports a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish species and extensive wetlands. The advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loads and pollutants, safeguarding the ecological balance of the downstream environment and the Adriatic coastal zone.
