ROANA_LOC_VALDASSA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Canove, Veneto

ROANA_LOC_VALDASSA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Canove, a frazione of Roana in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The facility serves a small population of 125 residents and operates with a designed capacity of 200 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 24.75 cubic meters per day. 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 of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and sedimentation to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Brenta River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the local watershed and downstream aquatic ecosystems from untreated wastewater pollution.

The plant discharges into small streams that feed into the Brenta River, which flows through the Veneto region before entering the Adriatic Sea near Chioggia. The Brenta basin supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and recreation. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads and organic pollution, protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive area.
