RIVIGNANO_VIA_CAVOUR Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rivignano Teor, Italy

RIVIGNANO_VIA_CAVOUR is a wastewater treatment plant located in Rivignano Teor (Rivignan Teôr), in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 88 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 1,200 m³/day, currently discharging 288 m³/day of treated effluent. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes such as sedimentation to remove settleable solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations (under 2,000 population equivalent) are required to have appropriate treatment; primary treatment meets this requirement for this scale. The plant is not within 10 km of the coast but is within 50 km, indicating it discharges to inland waters that eventually reach the Adriatic Sea. The treated effluent from the plant flows into local watercourses that drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Tagliamento River or other nearby rivers. This region is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and important migratory corridors. The plant's operation helps protect local water quality and downstream environments.

The plant discharges into the local drainage network that feeds into the Adriatic Sea, likely via the Tagliamento River basin. This area supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish. The primary treatment reduces suspended solids but does not remove nutrients, so downstream water bodies may be affected by nutrient loading, though the small population served limits the impact.
