COV Ivanovice na Hane is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Ivanovice na Hané, a town in the Jihomoravský kraj (South Moravian Region) of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 1,681 and operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under Czech and EU regulations for small agglomerations. The plant has a designed capacity of 3,250 m³/day and currently treats a daily volume of 646.20 m³/day. As a secondary treatment facility, it employs biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the effluent standards set by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for inland discharges. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse, which ultimately drains into the Morava River basin and then the Danube River, flowing into the Black Sea.

Environmental context
The plant discharges into a small watercourse that flows into the Haná River, a tributary of the Morava River. The Morava River joins the Danube, which empties into the Black Sea. The surrounding region is agricultural, and the plant helps prevent nutrient pollution that could lead to eutrophication in downstream waters. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of the Danube River Basin, a major European ecological corridor.
