COV Bohusovice nad Ohri - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bohušovice nad Ohří, Czech Republic

COV Bohusovice nad Ohri is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Bohušovice nad Ohří, a town in the Ústecký kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 1,464, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Czech and EU regulatory frameworks. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,070 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 317.34 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately flows into the Ohře River, a major tributary of the Elbe River. The Elbe drains into the North Sea, making this plant part of a transboundary river basin. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems in the Ohře and Elbe rivers.

The plant discharges into the Ohře River basin, which flows into the Elbe River and eventually the North Sea. The Ohře River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollution and nutrient loads, protecting downstream habitats and water quality.
