KA Diepholz Wastewater Treatment Plant, Diepholz, Niedersachsen

KA Diepholz is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Diepholz, Niedersachsen, Germany. It serves a population of approximately 15,558, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under European Union regulations. The plant is situated at Strothestraße 15 and plays a key role in managing wastewater for the local community. As a German facility, KA Diepholz operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also requires more advanced treatment if the plant discharges into sensitive areas. The plant is expected to meet these regulatory standards to protect water quality. The treated effluent from KA Diepholz is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the North Sea via the Weser River system. This downstream connection underscores the plant's role in safeguarding regional aquatic ecosystems and supporting the ecological health of the Weser basin.

KA Diepholz discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Weser River basin. The Weser flows northward through Niedersachsen and empties into the North Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The plant's operations help maintain water quality in this sensitive river system, which is vital for both wildlife and human use.
