LUSIA_VIA_GORZON Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lusia, Veneto, Italy

LUSIA_VIA_GORZON is a wastewater treatment plant located in Lusia, a town in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a population of 1,574 and has a design capacity of 3,000 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 311.60 m³/day. It operates under Italy's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for small agglomerations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, exceeding the EU's minimum secondary treatment standard for sensitive areas. This level of treatment ensures high-quality effluent suitable for discharge into local water bodies. The plant's inland location suggests discharge into a river or stream within the Po River basin. The treated effluent ultimately drains into the Po River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Po basin is a vital agricultural and ecological region, supporting diverse aquatic life and wetlands. Advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and the sensitive ecosystems of the Po Delta.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that is part of the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important watersheds. The Po River flows eastward through the Po Valley and empties into the Adriatic Sea via a large delta. This region supports diverse aquatic habitats and is a critical corridor for migratory birds. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protects the ecological health of the Po Delta and coastal Adriatic waters.
