Overview
SAN GIORGIO IN BOSCO VIA MOROSINI I is a secondary treatment plant serving Sant'Anna Morosina, Italy. It discharges treated wastewater into the local water system in the Veneto region.
SAN GIORGIO IN BOSCO VIA MOROSINI I is a wastewater treatment plant located in Sant'Anna Morosina, a frazione of San Giorgio in Bosco, in the province of Padua, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a small population of 137 people and operates under the regulatory framework of the European Union's Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level for small communities in Italy. It has a designed capacity of 150 cubic meters per day and discharges an average of 27.12 cubic meters per day. The plant is situated inland, more than 10 kilometers from the coast, reducing direct marine impact. The treated effluent is released into local waterways that eventually drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Brenta River basin. The Veneto region's water systems support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and tourism. The plant's operation helps protect these water bodies from untreated pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Brenta River, which empties into the northern Adriatic Sea near Venice. The Brenta basin supports a mix of agricultural and natural habitats, including wetlands that provide critical ecosystem services such as flood control and biodiversity support. The Adriatic Sea is a semi-enclosed basin with sensitive marine ecosystems, making proper wastewater treatment essential to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal resources.
