DP02002201_DOSOLO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Dosolo, Lombardia, Italy

DP02002201_DOSOLO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Dosolo, a municipality in the province of Mantova, Lombardia, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,997 people and has a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 593.30 m³/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 plant of this scale (serving under 10,000 people), 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 important watersheds. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities along its course. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

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 wetland habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea and maintaining the ecological balance of the Po delta.
