COV Moldava nad Bodvou is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Moldava nad Bodvou, a town in the Košický kraj region of eastern Slovakia. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,419 people, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Slovak facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size discharging into freshwater. The plant's treatment processes are designed to meet national standards aligned with EU regulations, ensuring compliance with effluent quality requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into the Bodva River, a tributary of the Slaná River, which flows into the Tisza River and ultimately the Danube River basin. The Bodva River supports local aquatic ecosystems and is part of the broader Danube watershed, which is ecologically significant for biodiversity and water quality management.

The plant discharges into the Bodva River, which flows into the Slaná River, a tributary of the Tisza River, part of the Danube River basin. The Danube basin is a major European watershed supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory fish species. The Bodva River's water quality is important for downstream ecosystems, including wetlands and floodplain habitats.
