VILLADOSE_LOC_CAMBIO_NORD is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Cambio district of Villadose, in the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 139 residents and operates with secondary treatment, which is appropriate for its scale under Italian and EU regulations. With a designed capacity of 150 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 27.52 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a small agglomeration, it falls under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for inland discharges from agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into local canals and watercourses that drain into the Po River delta and ultimately the Adriatic Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the sensitive Po Delta ecosystem and the coastal waters of the northern Adriatic.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the network of canals and drainage channels in the Po River delta, which flows into the northern Adriatic Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important area for migratory birds. The Po Delta is ecologically sensitive, and secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loading that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the coastal zone.
