Overflow dischargers from sewage networks and pumping stations can discharge excess flow into the Marecchia River. The river receives wastewater treatment plant discharge from Rimini Santa Giustina in its lower reach. No cyanobacterial bloom events have been reported in the last four years. No phytoplankton or macroalgae bloom events have been recorded for the period 2020–2023.
