NOGARA_LOC_MONTALTO_VIA_OLMO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Nogara, Veneto

NOGARA_LOC_MONTALTO_VIA_OLMO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Nogara, a town in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The facility serves a small population of 400 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 400 cubic meters per day, discharging approximately 79.19 cubic meters per day of treated effluent. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The directive mandates secondary treatment for all discharges from agglomerations with a population equivalent above 2,000, but smaller plants like this one are subject to national regulations that typically align with the directive's principles. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Po River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the local aquatic environment and the downstream ecosystems of the Po River delta, a region of ecological importance.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River delta is a vast wetland complex that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and migratory birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and protect the water quality of the receiving water bodies, contributing to the ecological health of the downstream environment.
