COV Brodske Wastewater Treatment Plant, Brodské, Slovakia

COV Brodske is a wastewater treatment plant located in the village of Brodské, in the Trnavský kraj region of western Slovakia. The plant serves a population of 1,577 and has a design capacity of 2,000 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 322.74 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. This level of treatment ensures high-quality effluent, reducing nutrient loads and protecting receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Morava River basin, which flows into the Danube River and ultimately the Black Sea. The advanced treatment helps safeguard the ecological health of these downstream waters, supporting biodiversity and water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Morava River basin, a tributary of the Danube River, which flows into the Black Sea. The Morava River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, protecting downstream ecosystems and water quality in the Danube basin.
