Overview
DP02002601_GOITO is a wastewater treatment plant serving Goito, Lombardia, Italy. It treats wastewater for approximately 8,415 people and discharges into the local water system.
DP02002601_GOITO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Goito, a town in the Lombardia region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 8,415 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Italian and EU regulations. As an Italian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the discharge enters sensitive areas. It is expected to meet the secondary treatment standard. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant river systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities along its course. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local environment from untreated wastewater.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic species and is an important agricultural region. The Po River delta is ecologically sensitive, hosting diverse bird populations and fish species. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and pollution in the downstream environment.
