CORONIL EL is a wastewater treatment plant located in El Coronil, a municipality in the province of Seville, within the autonomous community of Andalucía, Spain. The plant serves a population of around 8,182 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU definitions. As a Spanish facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The regulatory framework ensures appropriate standards are met. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Guadalquivir River basin, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean via the Gulf of Cádiz. This region supports diverse aquatic life and agricultural activities, making proper wastewater treatment essential for protecting downstream ecosystems.
