GIOIA SANNITICA IMPIANTO DEL CAPOLUOGO GIOIA CENTRO - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Gioia Sannitica, Campania

GIOIA SANNITICA IMPIANTO DEL CAPOLUOGO GIOIA CENTRO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Calvisi, near Gioia Sannitica, in the province of Caserta, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a small community of approximately 1,000 residents, reflecting the rural character of this inland area in southern Italy. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. With a designed capacity of 2,000 m³/day and a current discharge volume of about 198 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Volturno River basin, one of the major river systems in southern Italy. The Volturno flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Castel Volturno, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural water use along its course.

The plant discharges into the Volturno River basin, which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Volturno is the longest river in southern Italy and supports a variety of freshwater species, including endemic fish. Downstream, the river delta and coastal wetlands provide important habitats for migratory birds and marine life.
