COV Blansko Wastewater Treatment Plant, Blansko, Jihomoravský kraj

COV Blansko is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Blansko, within the Jihomoravský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 14,030, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Czech facility, COV Blansko operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's treatment processes and capacity are designed to meet these regulatory standards, ensuring compliance with national and European water quality requirements. The treated effluent from COV Blansko is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Svitava River, a tributary of the Svratka River. The Svratka flows into the Dyje River, which joins the Morava River and eventually reaches the Danube River basin. This watercourse supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water resources.

The plant discharges into the Svitava River, which flows into the Svratka River, part of the Danube River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is used for recreation and water supply downstream. The region's karst geology makes groundwater protection a key concern, requiring effective nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication in receiving waters.
