Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local drainage network that ultimately flows into the Adriatic Sea, a semi-enclosed basin with limited water exchange. The nearby Lagoon of Venice is an ecologically sensitive area that supports migratory birds and marine species. Nutrient loads from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication, making secondary treatment important for coastal water quality.
