VENTA DEL MORO Wastewater Treatment Plant, Venta del Moro, Comunitat Valenciana

VENTA DEL MORO is a wastewater treatment plant located in Venta del Moro, a municipality in the Comunitat Valenciana region of eastern Spain. The plant served the local population as part of the region's wastewater infrastructure. It is situated inland, away from the coast, and its operations were regulated under Spanish and European Union environmental standards. The plant provided secondary treatment, a standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for inland agglomerations. Its designed capacity of 1,625 m³/day indicates it was sized for a small community. The facility is now closed, and its operational history reflects the evolving needs of the area. The plant's treated effluent would have discharged into a local watercourse, eventually reaching the Mediterranean Sea via the Júcar River basin. The Comunitat Valenciana region is ecologically sensitive, with important wetlands and coastal ecosystems that benefit from effective wastewater management.

The plant is located in the Júcar River basin, which drains into the Mediterranean Sea. The region supports diverse aquatic life and includes ecologically sensitive areas such as coastal lagoons and wetlands. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to protect these downstream environments from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
