KA Gross Dungen Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bad Salzdetfurth, Niedersachsen

KA Gross Dungen is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Groß Düngen district of Bad Salzdetfurth, in the state of Niedersachsen, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,550 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. As a German facility, the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but it is expected to meet the directive's standards for biological treatment and nutrient removal where applicable. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Innerste River, a tributary of the Leine, which flows into the Aller and then the Weser River, reaching the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the Innerste watershed and downstream aquatic ecosystems.

The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Innerste River, a tributary of the Leine. The Leine joins the Aller, which empties into the Weser River, eventually reaching the North Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for recreation and agriculture. The plant's operation helps maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
