Overview
COV Ostrozska Nova Ves is a secondary treatment plant serving 3,875 people in Ostrožská Nová Ves, Zlínský kraj, Czech Republic. It discharges treated wastewater into local waterways within the Morava River basin.
COV Ostrozska Nova Ves is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Ostrožská Nová Ves, a village in the Zlínský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 3,875, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Czech and EU regulations. It operates under the Czech national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets standards for collection and treatment. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard requirement for inland freshwater discharges in the EU. Its designed capacity is 3,875 population equivalents, matching the served population, and it treats an average daily volume of 355 cubic meters. The facility is part of the regional wastewater infrastructure managed by local water authorities. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local streams that drain into the Morava River, a major tributary of the Danube River system. The Morava River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The plant's operation helps protect water quality in this sensitive river basin, which ultimately flows into the Black Sea.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters small watercourses in the Morava River basin, which flows southward to join the Danube River near Bratislava. The Danube then discharges into the Black Sea. The Morava River and its tributaries support diverse fish populations and riparian habitats, making them ecologically sensitive. The plant's secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, helping to maintain water quality in this important Central European watershed.
