Overview
ROWP PRIMARIA DRAGANESTI VLASCA is a primary treatment plant serving 56 people in Drăgănești-Vlașca, Teleorman, Romania. It discharges 12.61 m³/day of treated wastewater.
ROWP PRIMARIA DRAGANESTI VLASCA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Drăgănești-Vlașca, a commune in Teleorman County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 56 residents and has a designed capacity of 932 m³/day, indicating it is sized for potential future growth or seasonal variations. As a primary treatment facility, the plant provides basic physical sedimentation and skimming to remove settleable solids and floating materials. Under Romanian and EU regulations, small agglomerations (under 2,000 population equivalent) are subject to national implementation of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, which requires appropriate treatment based on local conditions. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the broader Black Sea catchment. The plant plays a role in protecting local surface water quality in the Teleorman region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams that flow into the Vedea River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube carries water through the Danube Delta, a vast wetland ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory birds before reaching the Black Sea. Protecting water quality in this basin is essential for maintaining the ecological health of the delta and coastal marine environment.
