Overview
ROWP Primaria Ludesti is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving approximately 300 people in Miloșari, Romania. It discharges treated water into the local watershed within the Dâmbovița region.
ROWP Primaria Ludesti is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Miloșari, a village within the Ludești commune in Dâmbovița County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of around 300 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. Its location along DJ702A places it within the broader infrastructure network of southern Romania. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage that removes organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its potential, treating an average daily volume of 67.55 cubic meters. This scale aligns with the requirements of Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into the local hydrographic network, which ultimately drains into the Argeș River basin and then to the Danube River. The Danube carries the water to the Black Sea, making the plant's performance relevant to downstream water quality in the Danube Delta, a region of high ecological importance. The plant's operation supports the protection of local streams and groundwater in the Dâmbovița area.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Argeș River basin, a tributary of the Danube River, which flows into the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a major European ecological corridor. The Dâmbovița region features a mix of agricultural and forested landscapes, and the plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution that could otherwise impact downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta's sensitive wetlands.
