Overview
ROWP Dudestii Noi is a secondary treatment plant serving 392 people in Dudeștii Noi, Timiș County, Romania. It discharges 394.50 m³/day of treated wastewater.
ROWP Dudestii Noi is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located on Strada Macilor in Dudeștii Noi, a commune in Timiș County, western Romania. The plant serves a small population of 392 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent below 2,000. The plant has a designed capacity of 4,850 m³/day, indicating significant reserve capacity for future growth. Actual discharge volume is 394.50 m³/day. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Timiș River basin, part of the larger Tisa (Tisza) River system, which ultimately flows into the Danube River and then the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local streams from untreated sewage, supporting water quality in the region's agricultural landscape.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small tributaries of the Timiș River, which flows into the Tisa River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube carries water to the Black Sea, making this plant part of a vast transboundary basin. The surrounding area is predominantly agricultural, so the plant helps prevent nutrient pollution that could cause eutrophication in downstream water bodies. The Timiș River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish species.
