KA DAGSTUHL Wastewater Treatment Plant, Wadern, Saarland

KA DAGSTUHL is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Noswendel district of Wadern, in the Saarland region of Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,620 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. The treated effluent from KA DAGSTUHL is discharged into local watercourses that are part of the Saar River basin. The Saar River flows into the Moselle, then the Rhine, and ultimately the North Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of these rivers and the downstream aquatic environment.

KA DAGSTUHL discharges into the local watershed that drains into the Saar River, a tributary of the Moselle River. The Moselle joins the Rhine, which flows into the North Sea. The plant helps protect the ecologically sensitive Saar River, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish species.
