COV Humpolec is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Humpolec, within the Kraj Vysočina region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of around 31,467 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU standards. As a Czech facility, COV Humpolec 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 Humpolec is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the North Sea via the Elbe River basin. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the region's water resources and supporting the ecological health of downstream environments.

COV Humpolec discharges treated wastewater into local streams that feed into the Sázava River, a tributary of the Vltava River, which ultimately flows into the Elbe River and reaches the North Sea. The plant's operations help maintain water quality in this important river system, which supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for communities downstream.
