Overview
UWWTP_CRENSOVCI is a secondary treatment plant in Trnje, Slovenia, serving 481 people. It discharges 244.94 m³/day of treated wastewater into the local watershed.
UWWTP_CRENSOVCI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Trnje, a settlement within the municipality of Črenšovci in northeastern Slovenia. The plant serves a small population of 481 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. Its designed capacity of 3500 m³/day indicates potential for future growth or seasonal variations. 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. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and settling, reducing organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The plant operates within Slovenia's national regulatory framework, which aligns with EU directives. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Mura River, a tributary of the Drava River, and then into the Danube River basin. This waterway supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The plant's location inland and away from the coast reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall water quality in the Danube catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Mura River catchment, which flows into the Drava River and then the Danube, eventually reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports a variety of fish species and riparian habitats. The region is part of the Pannonian Basin, characterized by lowland rivers and agricultural land, where nutrient pollution from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
