ARA Deutsch Wagram 206 GF - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria

ARA Deutsch Wagram 206 GF is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Deutsch-Wagram, a town in the state of Niederösterreich, Austria. The plant serves a population of around 11,824, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As an Austrian plant, it 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. Compliance with national and EU standards is expected. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European river that flows into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and industry along its course.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. The Danube supports a rich diversity of fish and bird species, including several migratory fish. The watershed is ecologically sensitive due to its role as a major European waterway and habitat corridor.
