Konnersreuth Wastewater Treatment Plant, Rosenbühl, Bavaria

Konnersreuth wastewater treatment plant is located in Rosenbühl, a district of Konnersreuth in the Bavarian district of Tirschenreuth, Germany. The plant serves a population of 4,328 and operates with advanced treatment technology, ensuring high-quality effluent standards. With a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day and an average daily discharge of 567.15 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a German facility, it complies with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates advanced treatment for sensitive areas and agglomerations of this scale. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the protection of the Black Sea ecosystem. The advanced treatment process helps safeguard downstream aquatic habitats and supports regional water quality goals.

The plant discharges into small streams in the Tirschenreuth region, which flow into the Waldnaab River, a tributary of the Naab, and ultimately the Danube River. The Danube drains into the Black Sea, making the plant's advanced treatment crucial for reducing nutrient loads that could cause eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal areas. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a sensitive ecological network.
