Overview
ROANA_LOC_STRADA_CIMITERO is a secondary wastewater treatment plant in Canove, Veneto, Italy, serving a small population of 16.
ROANA_LOC_STRADA_CIMITERO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Canove, a frazione of Roana in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a very small population of 16 people, reflecting its role in a rural or sparsely populated area within the Vicenza province. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this scale. The plant operates well below its capacity, indicating low utilization. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Brenta River basin, flowing south toward the Adriatic Sea. The plant's inland location, over 50 km from the coast, reduces direct marine impact, but the receiving waters support local aquatic ecosystems and agricultural activities in the Veneto plain.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams within the Brenta River watershed, which flows through the Veneto region into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. The local water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are part of a region known for its agricultural productivity and ecological sensitivity, particularly in the downstream lagoon areas.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Canove, a locality within the municipality of Roana, in the province of Vicenza, Veneto region, Italy.
The plant serves a population of 16 people, making it a very small-scale facility typical of rural or mountain communities in the Veneto region.
The treated wastewater is discharged into local streams that are part of the Brenta River watershed, eventually flowing into the Adriatic Sea.
Under the EU UWWTD (91/271/EEC), plants serving agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent are subject to national regulations. This plant provides secondary treatment, which meets the standard requirement for such small communities.
For very small agglomerations in Italy, secondary treatment is typical, often using biological processes like activated sludge or trickling filters. The plant's design capacity of 20 megaliters per year suggests it can handle seasonal variations.
