SKA GLATT AV UNTERES GLATTAL Wastewater Treatment Plant, Horb am Neckar, Germany

SKA GLATT AV UNTERES GLATTAL is a wastewater treatment plant located in Horb am Neckar, in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 8,850 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU regulations. As a German facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates appropriate treatment before discharge into freshwater bodies. The plant's treatment process and capacity are managed to meet these regulatory standards. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into the Neckar River, which flows through the region and eventually joins the Rhine River. The Rhine is a major European waterway that drains into the North Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the water quality of the Neckar and Rhine basins, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into the Neckar River, a tributary of the Rhine River, which ultimately flows into the North Sea. The Neckar basin supports diverse aquatic habitats and is an important corridor for migratory fish species. The plant's operations help maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system, which is subject to EU water framework directives.
