Water Pollution
Global characterisation of the wastewater sources
The main source of pollution for the river Bistrita is the
insufficiently treated wastewater discharged by RAJA
“AQUABIS“, the wastewater treatment station lacking
the third treatment step for nutrients (NH 4 + - N). The
quality of the river water is also affected by manmade
effects, leading to values over the limit for general ions
and metals.
Discharge of the waste waters
In terms of the volume of municipal and industrial
wastewaters collected within Bistrita municipality
through the sewerage system, on one hand not all
used waters generated pass through the sewerage
system (some water is discharged straight into the
river); while on the other hand, the sewerage system
does not cover the entire area of the municipality.
