COV Slusovice Wastewater Treatment Plant, Slušovice, Czech Republic

COV Slusovice is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Slušovice, Zlínský kraj, Czech Republic. The facility serves a population of approximately 2,269 residents, making it a small-scale municipal treatment plant in the region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 7,600 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 682.93 m³/day, the plant operates well within its capacity. As a Czech facility, it operates under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which mandates appropriate treatment levels for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Morava River basin, part of the Danube River system. This contributes to the protection of downstream aquatic ecosystems and the Black Sea watershed.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Dřevnice River, a tributary of the Morava River. The Morava River joins the Danube, which ultimately drains into the Black Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as barbel and chub, and the plant's advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading that could cause eutrophication downstream.
