Overview
LAGO_DI_VIVERONE wastewater treatment plant serves Settimo Rottaro, Piemonte, Italy, with a population equivalent of 5,000. It operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
LAGO_DI_VIVERONE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Settimo Rottaro, in the Piemonte region of Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of 5,000, placing it in the small agglomeration category under EU regulations. Its location near the A4/A5 motorway junction provides good accessibility for operational purposes. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this one are required to provide appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment or equivalent. Italy has transposed this directive into national law, and plants of this scale are expected to meet effluent quality standards for biological oxygen demand and suspended solids. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Po River basin. The Po River is Italy's longest river and flows into the Adriatic Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural land and small towns, and the plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea via the Po Delta. The Po River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The watershed includes agricultural areas that can contribute nutrient runoff, making effective wastewater treatment essential for preventing eutrophication in downstream waters.
