SKA Riedlingen Wastewater Treatment Plant, Riedlingen, Baden-Württemberg

SKA Riedlingen is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Riedlingen (Kernstadt), Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 28,300 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU regulations. As a German wastewater treatment facility, SKA Riedlingen operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant is subject to German water management laws and state-level oversight from Baden-Württemberg. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European river that flows into the Black Sea, making the plant's operations important for downstream water quality in the Danube watershed.

SKA Riedlingen is situated in the Danube River basin, one of Europe's most significant watersheds. The treated wastewater from the plant eventually reaches the Danube, which flows through multiple countries before emptying into the Black Sea. The Danube supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The plant's location in Baden-Württemberg places it in a region with sensitive water bodies that require careful management to protect downstream ecosystems.
