ROANA_LOC_CAMPOROVERE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Camporovere, Veneto

ROANA_LOC_CAMPOROVERE is a wastewater treatment facility located in Camporovere, a frazione of Roana in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 188 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or mountainous community within the Asiago plateau area. 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 with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. However, given the small served population (188 PE), the plant's secondary treatment level exceeds the directive's minimum requirement for such small communities, which typically only mandates appropriate treatment. The designed capacity of 300 m³/day indicates the plant is sized to handle peak flows. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Brenta River basin. The Brenta River flows south through the Veneto region and into the Adriatic Sea near Chioggia. The plant's operation helps protect the sensitive alpine and pre-alpine watercourses in the area, supporting aquatic life and downstream water quality in the Brenta River and the Venice Lagoon ecosystem.

The plant discharges into the local watershed of the Brenta River, which flows through the Veneto region and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The receiving water bodies are part of a sensitive alpine ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as trout and grayling. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and protect downstream water quality in the Brenta River and the Venice Lagoon.
