DP09705601_NIBIONNO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Inverigo, in the Lombardia region of Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 42,107, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated inland, away from the coast, and discharges into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Po River basin. As a plant in Italy, 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 receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. It is expected to meet the regulatory standards for biological treatment to reduce organic matter and nutrients. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that are part of 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 plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these downstream environments by reducing pollutant loads.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are tributaries of the Po River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Po basin is a densely populated and agriculturally intensive region, making nutrient removal crucial to prevent eutrophication in the Adriatic. The plant's location in Lombardia, a region with significant industrial and agricultural activity, underscores its importance in maintaining the ecological health of the downstream water bodies.
