The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Ems River basin, which flows into the North Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The advanced treatment ensures nutrient removal, reducing the risk of eutrophication in downstream waters and protecting the sensitive coastal environment of the Wadden Sea.
