DP02003304_MARMIROLO_ZONA_IND_LE_VIA_VITTORIO - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Marmirolo, Lombardy

DP02003304_MARMIROLO_ZONA_IND_LE_VIA_VITTORIO is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the industrial zone of Marmirolo, a town in the province of Mantua, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 218 residents and is part of the regional wastewater infrastructure managed under Italian regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 500 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 43.16 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a small agglomeration, it falls 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 local watercourses that eventually drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the local watershed and downstream ecosystems.

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 ecosystem, including migratory fish species and wetland habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in the Adriatic coastal zone.
