KA Lemke Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lemke, Niedersachsen

KA Lemke is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Lemke, a district of Marklohe in the Samtgemeinde Weser-Aue, Landkreis Nienburg/Weser, Niedersachsen, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 18,990, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under European Union regulations. As a German facility, KA Lemke operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national and EU standards for wastewater treatment. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Weser River system. The Weser flows northward through Niedersachsen and into the North Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and serving as an important waterway for the region.

KA Lemke discharges into the Weser River basin, which flows through Niedersachsen and empties into the North Sea. The Weser supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as salmon and eel, and provides critical habitat for migratory birds. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
