COV Uhersky Ostroh Wastewater Treatment Plant, Uherský Ostroh, Czech Republic

COV Uhersky Ostroh is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Uherský Ostroh, a town in the Zlínský kraj region of the Czech Republic. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,686 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under European Union classification. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is 7,633 m³/day, and the current discharge volume is 523.07 m³/day, indicating ample reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Morava River basin, a tributary of the Danube River. This connection to the Danube watershed means the plant's operations contribute to the water quality of a major European river system that flows into the Black Sea.

The plant discharges into the Morava River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually the Black Sea. The Morava River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The region's agricultural landscape means that nutrient removal from wastewater is important for preventing eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
