COV Bohumin Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bohumín, Czech Republic

COV Bohumin is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Bohumín, a town in the Moravskoslezský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of around 12,175 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Czech facility, COV Bohumin 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 details are not publicly available, but the regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards for effluent quality. The treated wastewater is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Odra River basin. The Odra River flows through the region and into the Baltic Sea, making the plant's operations important for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality in the broader catchment area.

COV Bohumin discharges treated wastewater into the Odra River basin, which flows through the Czech Republic, Poland, and into the Baltic Sea. The Odra River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The plant's location inland, away from the coast, reduces direct marine impact, but its effluent quality is critical for maintaining the ecological health of the river system and downstream environments.
