ROWP SC Aquacaras SA Baile Herculane - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Băile Herculane, Romania

ROWP SC Aquacaras SA Baile Herculane is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Băile Herculane, a town in Caraș-Severin County, western Romania. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,865 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU classification. As a Romanian facility, the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into freshwater bodies. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European waterway that flows into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for communities downstream. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect water quality in the Cerna River and downstream environments.

The plant discharges into the Cerna River, a tributary of the Danube River, which flows into the Black Sea. The Cerna River valley is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and riparian habitats. The Danube Delta, downstream, is a major European ecosystem that depends on good water quality from upstream tributaries. Effective wastewater treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads to the Danube and Black Sea.
