COV Jaromerice nad Rokytnou - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou, Czech Republic

COV Jaromerice nad Rokytnou is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Jaroměřice nad Rokytnou, a town in the Kraj Vysočina region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 9,900, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Czech and EU regulations. 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. With a designed capacity of 6,965 m³/day and a reported discharge volume of 794.51 m³/day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of incoming wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into the local hydrological network, which ultimately drains into the Rokytná River, a tributary of the Jihlava River, and then into the Dyje River system, part of the Morava River basin that flows into the Danube. This connection to the Danube watershed underscores the plant's role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems in Central Europe.

The plant discharges into the Rokytná River, a small watercourse that flows through the Vysočina region before joining the Jihlava River. The Jihlava River is part of the Dyje River basin, which feeds into the Morava River and ultimately the Danube River, one of Europe's major waterways. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive due to its role in maintaining water quality for downstream habitats, including floodplain forests and wetlands along the Morava and Danube.
