COV Trutnov Bohuslavice Wastewater Treatment Plant, Trutnov, Czech Republic

COV Trutnov Bohuslavice is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Bohuslavice district of Trutnov, in the Královéhradecký region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves an estimated population of 33,109, classifying it as a medium agglomeration under EU regulations. As a plant 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 directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are sensitive areas. The plant's treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but the regulatory framework ensures compliance with EU standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the Úpa River, which flows through Trutnov and eventually joins the Elbe River. The Elbe drains into the North Sea, making this plant part of a transboundary river basin. The Úpa River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the region.

The plant discharges into the Úpa River, a tributary of the Elbe River, which flows through the Czech Republic and Germany before reaching the North Sea. The Úpa River supports a variety of fish species and other aquatic organisms, and its water quality is important for downstream ecosystems and human use. The plant's location in the Královéhradecký region, near the Krkonoše Mountains, means the river is sensitive to nutrient pollution, which can affect biodiversity.
