Overview
ROWP Salubri Statie de epurare Padurea Neagra is a primary treatment plant in Aleșd, Bihor, Romania, serving 400 people with a designed capacity of 1500 m³/day.
ROWP Salubri Statie de epurare Padurea Neagra is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Aleșd, Bihor County, Romania. The facility serves a small population of 400 residents and has a designed capacity of 1500 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 90.07 cubic meters per day. As a primary treatment plant, it provides basic physical sedimentation and screening. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations under 2000 population equivalent are not required to have secondary treatment, though Romania's national regulations may impose additional requirements for sensitive areas. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Crișul Repede River, a tributary of the Körös River system, which flows into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River and Black Sea. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural land and small settlements, and the plant plays a role in protecting local water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed the Crișul Repede River, part of the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube and then the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The area is predominantly agricultural, so nutrient and pollutant control from wastewater is critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
