MANIAGO_LOC_PESCHIERA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Maniago, a town in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,754 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU guidelines. It is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure. As a small agglomeration, the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment before discharge. Plants of this scale typically employ secondary biological treatment to meet regulatory standards. The directive mandates that discharges from such facilities must not adversely affect the environment. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local watercourses that drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Po River basin or smaller coastal rivers. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and tourism. Proper treatment helps protect these ecosystems from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
