BUGARRA CAMPING RIO TURIA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bugarra, Spain

BUGARRA CAMPING RIO TURIA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Bugarra, a municipality in the La Serranía comarca of Valencia, Spain. The plant was designed to serve the camping area along the Turia River, with a capacity of 450 cubic meters per day. It is currently closed and no longer operational. The plant provided secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this scale. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and sedimentation to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's closure may reflect changes in local infrastructure or population patterns. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent would have discharged into the Turia River, which flows eastward through Valencia and into the Mediterranean Sea. The Turia River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the region. The plant's operation would have helped protect the river's water quality and downstream ecosystems.

The plant is located near the Turia River, which flows through the province of Valencia and discharges into the Mediterranean Sea at the city of Valencia. The river supports a variety of aquatic species and provides irrigation water for agriculture. The plant's secondary treatment would have helped reduce organic pollution and protect the river's ecological health, particularly important given the river's role in regional water supply and recreation.
