Overview
AITONA SEROS wastewater treatment plant serves the town of Seròs in Catalunya, Spain. It treats wastewater from a population of approximately 3,329 under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
AITONA SEROS is a wastewater treatment plant located in Seròs, a town in the Segrià comarca of Catalunya, Spain. The plant serves a population of about 3,329 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. Its location in the Ebro basin places it within a region of agricultural and ecological significance. As a small-scale facility in Spain, AITONA SEROS operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for discharges into freshwater and estuarine environments. Its operational status and discharge volume are also unconfirmed. The treated effluent from AITONA SEROS is discharged into the local hydrological network, which ultimately drains into the Ebro River. The Ebro is one of Spain's major rivers, flowing into the Mediterranean Sea via the Ebro Delta, a vital wetland ecosystem. The plant's operations contribute to protecting water quality in this sensitive downstream environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Ebro River basin, which flows through Catalunya and into the Mediterranean Sea via the Ebro Delta. The delta is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient loading and contamination that could harm this important coastal ecosystem.
