ROWP Compania de Apa Dambovita suc Moreni Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ghirdoveni

ROWP Compania de Apa Dambovita suc Moreni is a wastewater treatment plant located in Ghirdoveni, I. L. Caragiale, Dâmbovița County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 13,394 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU standards. As a Romanian facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The directive also requires more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Danube River basin. The Danube flows into the Black Sea, making the plant's performance important for downstream water quality and the ecological health of the Danube Delta.

The plant discharges into the Dâmbovița River catchment, a tributary of the Argeș River, which flows into the Danube. The Danube then reaches the Black Sea via the Danube Delta, a vast wetland of ecological importance. The region supports diverse aquatic life and migratory bird populations, and the plant's treatment performance helps protect these downstream ecosystems.
