UWWTP_RADENCI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located near Turjanci, part of the Radenci municipality in northeastern Slovenia. The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 24,000, classifying it as a medium agglomeration under EU regulations. It is situated near the Mura River, a major tributary of the Drava River, which flows into the Danube. As a Slovenian plant serving over 10,000 people, UWWTP_RADENCI operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This directive requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size, with more stringent tertiary treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but the regulatory framework ensures compliance with EU standards. The plant discharges treated effluent into the Mura River, which flows through Slovenia, Croatia, and Hungary before joining the Drava. The Drava then meets the Danube, which ultimately drains into the Black Sea. The Mura River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region.
