ROWP DRAGUSENI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Drăgușeni, Romania

ROWP DRAGUSENI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Drăgușeni, Suceava County, Romania. The facility serves a small community of 785 residents, reflecting its role in rural wastewater management within the region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and settling to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Siret River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality in the Siret basin, which supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and recreation.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Siret River basin, which flows into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. The Siret River supports a variety of fish species and provides water for agriculture in the region. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain the ecological health of this river system.
