ROVERCHIARA LOC CAPPAFREDDA ZONA PRODUTTIVA D2 Wastewater Treatment Plant, Roverchiara, Italy

ROVERCHIARA LOC CAPPAFREDDA ZONA PRODUTTIVA D2 is a wastewater treatment plant located in the industrial zone of Roverchiara, a town in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 65 and is situated in the province of Verona, within the Po River basin. 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. With a designed capacity of 200 m³/day and a discharge volume of 12.87 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating it is sized for future growth or seasonal variations. Treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Po River, Italy's longest river, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Po basin supports extensive agriculture and diverse aquatic ecosystems, making proper wastewater treatment essential for protecting water quality and downstream habitats.

The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which drains into the Adriatic Sea. The Po River is a major waterway supporting agriculture, industry, and biodiversity in northern Italy. The downstream environment includes sensitive delta ecosystems and coastal wetlands that rely on good water quality. Secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in the Adriatic.
