COV Odolena Voda Wastewater Treatment Plant, Středočeský kraj, Czech Republic

COV Odolena Voda is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Odolena Voda, a town in the Středočeský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 3,715 and is classified as a small agglomeration under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum required for agglomerations of this size under the EU directive. With a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 760.18 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or efficient management. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Vltava River basin, a major tributary of the Elbe River. The Elbe flows through Germany and into the North Sea, making the plant's operations relevant to downstream water quality in both the Czech Republic and downstream countries.

The plant discharges into the Vltava River basin, which flows into the Elbe River and eventually the North Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The region's water quality is regulated under the EU Water Framework Directive, which aims to achieve good ecological status for all water bodies.
