WASTE WATER FROM SMALL URBAN AREAS-IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENT IN SLOVAKIA

摘要

Slovakia after entering to the EU commits oneself to follow requests of EU Directive Nr. 91/271/EEC. The requirements of this Directive came into force in a new Water Act. The harmonisation of the waste water treatment in Slovakia with the requirements of this Directive will require substantial amount of funding for construction of new and reconstruction of existing WWTP's. This problem concerns especially municipalities with the equivalent population over 2,000 (EO). This paper discusses some possibilities to address this problem. There are some specific aspects and problems, as well as technical design of solutions for sewage systems in small municipalities. Under a small municipality we understand smaller urban units. In terms of water management Slovak Technical Norm (STN) 756402 Small Waste Water Treatment Plans, this group includes municipalities or urban centres, which produce up to 100 m~3/day of waste water.
