Overview
ROWP SC Jovila Construct Poiana Campina is a primary treatment plant serving 775 people in Câmpina, Prahova, Romania. It discharges 84.01 m³/day of treated wastewater into local water bodies.
ROWP SC Jovila Construct Poiana Campina is a wastewater treatment plant located in Câmpina, Prahova County, Romania. The facility serves a population of 775 and has a designed capacity of 1500 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 84.01 m³/day. It operates under Romania's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical sedimentation and screening. For a small agglomeration of this size, primary treatment is a common initial step, though EU directives typically require secondary treatment for inland freshwater discharges. The plant's capacity utilization is low relative to its design, indicating potential for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters within the Prahova River basin, which flows southward to join the Ialomița River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube ultimately reaches the Black Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically diverse region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Prahova River basin, part of the larger Danube catchment that drains into the Black Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The Prahova River flows through the Carpathian foothills, and its water quality affects downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta, a ecologically sensitive area.
