Overview
Aliveri wastewater treatment plant serves the town of Aliveri in Central Greece, Euboea region. It operates under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale.
The Aliveri wastewater treatment plant is located in the town of Aliveri, in the regional unit of Euboea, Central Greece. It serves a population of approximately 4,762 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant is situated near the coast of the Aegean Sea, within 50 km of the shoreline. As a Greek facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, transposed into national law. For agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000, the directive requires appropriate treatment (secondary or equivalent) before discharge into coastal waters. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a modest scale. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Aegean Sea. The Aegean Sea is a semi-enclosed marine ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life, including important fisheries and migratory species. The plant's location near the coast means that proper treatment is essential to protect coastal water quality and marine biodiversity.
Environmental context
The Aliveri plant discharges into the local drainage network that flows into the Aegean Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange. The Aegean Sea supports diverse marine life, including fish stocks and migratory species, and is ecologically sensitive to nutrient inputs. Proper wastewater treatment helps prevent eutrophication and protects coastal habitats.
