Overview
ROWP SC EDILUL CGA SA CAMPULUNG VALEA MARE PRAVAT is a secondary treatment plant serving Valea Mare Pravăț, Argeș, Romania. It discharges 9.23 m³/day of treated wastewater into local waters.
ROWP SC EDILUL CGA SA CAMPULUNG VALEA MARE PRAVAT is a wastewater treatment plant located in Valea Mare Pravăț, a commune in Argeș County, Romania. The plant serves a small population of 41 residents, reflecting its role in a rural setting within the Southern Carpathians foothills. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Although the designed capacity is 1,458 m³/day, the actual discharge volume is 9.23 m³/day, indicating the plant operates well below its capacity. Treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Argeș River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant helps protect the local watershed and downstream ecosystems from untreated sewage, supporting water quality in the Argeș basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams that feed the Argeș River, part of the Danube basin. The Argeș River flows south through Romania before joining the Danube, which ultimately reaches the Black Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The plant's secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, helping to maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive area.
