ROWP Primaria Baia de Arama Wastewater Treatment Plant - Baia de Aramă, Romania

ROWP Primaria Baia de Arama is a wastewater treatment facility located in Baia de Aramă, a town in Mehedinți County, Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,284 residents, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this small community. Situated in the southwestern part of the country, the plant is part of Romania's infrastructure for environmental protection and public health. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. With a designed capacity of 2,100 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 256.61 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. As a Romanian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on population equivalents and receiving water sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European waterway flowing into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health in this region.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, which ultimately flows into the Black Sea. The Danube supports a rich diversity of fish and bird species, and its delta is an ecologically sensitive area. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protects downstream aquatic habitats from eutrophication.
