Nogarole Rocca Loc Bagnolo Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bagnolo, Veneto

The Nogarole Rocca Loc Bagnolo wastewater treatment plant is located in Bagnolo, a locality within the municipality of Nogarole Rocca in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a small population of approximately 1,075 people, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. Its full address is Via Sorte, Bagnolo, Nogarole Rocca, Verona, Veneto, 37060, Italia. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 1,500 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 212.81 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. As an Italian plant, it falls under the national implementation of the EU directive, which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on the sensitivity of receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Po River basin, one of Italy's most significant hydrological systems. The Po River flows eastward into the Adriatic Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural irrigation along its course. The advanced treatment level helps protect the downstream environment, including the Po Delta and its ecologically sensitive wetlands.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po Delta is an ecologically sensitive area supporting diverse bird species and aquatic habitats. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protect downstream water quality in this important agricultural and ecological region.
