Overview
COV Rohoznik is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Rohožník, Slovakia. It has a designed capacity of 1,603 m³/day and discharges 500 m³/day of treated effluent.
COV Rohoznik is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Rohožník, a village in the Malacky District of the Bratislavský kraj region in western Slovakia. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,400 residents and is part of the region's water infrastructure managed under Slovak national regulations. The plant operates at the secondary treatment level, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent between 2,000 and 10,000. With a designed capacity of 1,603 m³/day and an average discharge volume of about 500 m³/day, the plant has sufficient capacity to handle current loads. The treatment process likely involves biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. Treated wastewater from COV Rohoznik is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Morava River basin, which flows into the Danube River and ultimately the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local aquatic environment and downstream ecosystems from pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams within the Morava River basin, a tributary of the Danube. The Morava River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Downstream, the Danube River flows into the Black Sea, making the plant's treatment performance critical for both local and transboundary water quality.
