Overview
COV I Moravska Nova Ves is a secondary wastewater treatment plant in Moravská Nová Ves, Czech Republic, serving 689 people with a designed capacity of 1700 m³/day.
COV I Moravska Nova Ves is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Moravská Nová Ves, a town in the Jihomoravský kraj (South Moravian Region) of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 689 residents, placing it in the small agglomeration category under EU classification. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity of 1700 m³/day indicates the plant is sized to handle the community's wastewater load, with a current discharge volume of 172.6 m³/day suggesting ample reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Morava River basin and then into the Danube River system. The South Moravian region is known for its agricultural landscape and the Dyje River floodplains, which support diverse aquatic and riparian habitats. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to protect these downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local water network that feeds into the Morava River, a major tributary of the Danube. The downstream environment includes the Morava River floodplains, which are ecologically sensitive areas supporting diverse bird species, fish populations, and riparian forests. Nutrient removal through secondary treatment helps prevent eutrophication in the Danube River system and the Black Sea, into which the Danube ultimately drains.
