MANDATORICCIO_ARMIRO1 is a wastewater treatment plant located in Rogliano, a town in the province of Cosenza, Calabria, Italy. The plant serves a population of about 3,590 and has a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 710.69 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size (under 10,000 population equivalent), the directive mandates appropriate treatment, and Italy has implemented advanced treatment in sensitive areas to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Ionian Sea via the Crati River basin. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the region's rivers and coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed that feeds into the Crati River, which flows into the Gulf of Taranto in the Ionian Sea. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is important for local fisheries. The advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient loading and protects the sensitive coastal ecosystem from eutrophication.
