SOLESINO_VIA_TIEPOLO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Solesino, a town in the province of Padua, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 10,819, classifying it as a medium agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure in the Veneto region. As an Italian plant serving a population between 10,000 and 150,000, SOLESINO_VIA_TIEPOLO is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This directive requires secondary treatment for all discharges from agglomerations of this size, unless the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas, which would necessitate tertiary treatment. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day), indicating a facility sized to handle the local wastewater load. The treated effluent from SOLESINO_VIA_TIEPOLO is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Po River basin. The Veneto region features a network of rivers and canals that support diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream ecosystems, including the Po Delta, which is an ecologically sensitive area known for its wetlands and biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Po River basin, which flows eastward through northern Italy and empties into the Adriatic Sea. The Po Delta is a vast wetland complex that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish, birds, and vegetation. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient pollution and protect this sensitive downstream environment, which is important for regional biodiversity and fisheries.
Frequently asked questions
SOLESINO_VIA_TIEPOLO is located in Solesino, in the province of Padua, Veneto, Italy. The address is Via Fratelli Bandiera, Solesino, Padova, Veneto, 35047.
The plant serves approximately 10,819 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations.
The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses within the Po River basin, which ultimately flows into the Adriatic Sea.
As an Italian plant serving over 10,000 people, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment as a minimum.
For agglomerations of this size, the EU directive mandates secondary treatment (biological treatment) to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. In sensitive areas, tertiary treatment for nutrient removal may be required.
