JUNEDA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Torregrossa, within the Pla d'Urgell region of Catalunya, Spain. It serves a population of about 3,009 people, making it a small-scale municipal facility. The plant is situated in an inland agricultural area, reflecting the rural character of the region. As a Spanish facility, JUNEDA operates under the national transposition of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000, the directive requires appropriate treatment, typically secondary treatment, unless the discharge is into sensitive areas. It is expected to meet these regulatory standards. The treated effluent from JUNEDA is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Ebro River basin, one of the most important river systems in Spain. The Ebro River flows into the Mediterranean Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and agricultural irrigation. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream environment.
Environmental context
JUNEDA discharges into the Ebro River basin, which flows into the Mediterranean Sea. The Ebro River delta is an ecologically sensitive area supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. The plant's treatment helps maintain water quality in this important agricultural and natural region.
