KA Walsrode Wastewater Treatment Plant, Walsrode, Niedersachsen

KA Walsrode is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located at Benzer Straße 101 in Walsrode, Niedersachsen, Germany. The plant serves an estimated population of 28,967, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a German wastewater facility, KA Walsrode 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 effluent quality. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies within the Weser river basin, which ultimately drains into the North Sea. The surrounding region of Heidekreis is characterized by mixed agricultural and urban land use, and the plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems from nutrient pollution.

KA Walsrode discharges into the local watershed within the Weser river basin, which flows northward through Niedersachsen and empties into the North Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish species. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the North Sea coastal zone.
