COV Moravsky Krumlov Zamecka - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Moravský Krumlov

COV Moravsky Krumlov Zamecka is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Moravský Krumlov, a town in the Jihomoravský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 4,203 and has a designed capacity of 5,370 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 571.51 m³/day. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, meeting stringent standards under Czech and EU regulations. The plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for sensitive areas and agglomerations of this scale. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the Rokytná River, a tributary of the Jihlava River, which flows into the Svratka River and ultimately the Dyje River, part of the Danube basin. This discharge supports the ecological health of the downstream water bodies and the broader Danube watershed.

The plant discharges into the Rokytná River, which flows into the Jihlava River, a tributary of the Svratka River. The Svratka joins the Dyje River, which is part of the Danube River basin, eventually reaching the Black Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, particularly in the lower reaches where nutrient loading can impact water quality. Advanced treatment at this plant helps protect these waters from eutrophication.
