DP02004901_REVERE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Revere, Lombardy, Italy

DP02004901_REVERE is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Revere, a frazione of Borgo Mantovano in the province of Mantua, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,803 residents, reflecting its role in a small agglomeration within the Po River basin. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 3,200 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 554.89 cubic meters per day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations above 2,000 population equivalent and advanced treatment in sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River, Italy's longest river, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River basin supports extensive agriculture and diverse aquatic ecosystems, making advanced treatment crucial for protecting water quality and downstream environments.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is a vital water resource for northern Italy, supporting irrigation, industry, and biodiversity. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, which is critical for preventing eutrophication in the Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed basin sensitive to algal blooms. The surrounding Lombardy region is characterized by intensive agriculture, so effective wastewater treatment is essential for maintaining water quality in local streams and the Po River.
