DP02003103_MARCARIA_CAMPITELLO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Campitello, Lombardy

DP02003103_MARCARIA_CAMPITELLO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Campitello, a frazione of Marcaria in the province of Mantua, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of 2,730 and has a designed capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 540.44 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As a facility in Italy, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's advanced treatment level suggests it may be located in a sensitive area requiring nutrient removal. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water network, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin. The Po River is the longest river in Italy and flows into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and industry. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River supports a rich variety of aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The 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.
