COV Stramberk Kanada Wastewater Treatment Plant, Štramberk, Czech Republic

COV Stramberk Kanada is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Štramberk, a town in the Moravskoslezský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of 785 and operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard level for small agglomerations under Czech and EU regulations. The plant has a designed capacity of 1,250 m³/day and currently discharges 236.07 m³/day of treated effluent. As a facility in the Czech Republic, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's discharge volume indicates it is operating well below its design capacity. The treated wastewater from COV Stramberk Kanada is discharged into local streams that flow into the Odra River basin, ultimately reaching the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Odra catchment, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe.

The plant discharges into the Odra River basin, which drains into the Baltic Sea via Poland. The Odra basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish spawning grounds and migratory bird habitats. The region's water quality is managed under the EU Water Framework Directive, with the plant contributing to nutrient and pollutant reduction in the catchment.
