GIOIA_SANNITICA_IMPIANTO_FRAZ_LENZE_CALVISI is a wastewater treatment plant located in Alife, in the Campania region of southern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 350 people, reflecting its role in a rural or suburban setting. It operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Its designed capacity is 700 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 69.29 m³/day, indicating it operates well below capacity. This suggests the plant is sized to accommodate future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Volturno River basin. The Volturno River flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and recreation. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
