ROWP Comuna Bagaciu ev Deleni - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Deleni, Mureș, Romania

ROWP Comuna Bagaciu ev Deleni is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Deleni, a village in Băgaciu commune, Mureș County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 600 residents, reflecting its role in rural wastewater management. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. Although the plant's designed capacity is 1,500 m³/day, the current discharge volume is 21.66 m³/day, indicating low utilization relative to capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Târnava Mică River, a tributary of the Mureș River, which flows into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River and Black Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated pollution.

The plant discharges into small streams that feed the Târnava Mică River, part of the Mureș River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish. The Târnava Mică flows through agricultural and forested areas before joining the Mureș, which eventually reaches the Danube and the Black Sea. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient loading and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
