The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the protection of the Danube's ecological health. The plant plays a crucial role in safeguarding downstream water quality and supporting the region's aquatic ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting the downstream environment from eutrophication.
