Overview
UWWTP_ODRANCI is a secondary treatment plant serving 626 people in Žižki, Slovenia. It discharges 220.84 m³/day of treated wastewater into the local watershed.
UWWTP_ODRANCI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Žižki, a settlement in the municipality of Črenšovci, northeastern Slovenia. The plant serves a population of 626 and operates with secondary treatment, which is appropriate for small agglomerations under Slovenian and EU regulations. As a secondary treatment facility, UWWTP_ODRANCI removes organic matter and suspended solids through biological processes. The plant has a designed capacity of 1950 m³/day and currently treats 220.84 m³/day, indicating ample reserve capacity. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), secondary treatment is the minimum requirement for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Mura River, a tributary of the Drava, and then the Danube River basin. This region is part of the Pannonian Basin, characterized by lowland rivers and agricultural landscapes. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and supporting the ecological health of the Mura-Drava-Danube corridor.
Environmental context
The treated effluent from UWWTP_ODRANCI enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Mura River, a major tributary of the Drava River. The Drava joins the Danube near Osijek, Croatia, forming part of the extensive Danube basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as the Danube salmon and various cyprinids. The region's lowland rivers and floodplains provide important habitats for migratory birds and maintain water quality for downstream communities.
