SKA Römerstein Böhringen Wastewater Treatment Plant, Böhringen, Baden-Württemberg

SKA Römerstein Böhringen is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Böhringen, a district of Römerstein in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,900 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU regulations. As a German plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's treatment processes are designed to meet national standards set by the German Water Resources Act (WHG) and state-level regulations. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Neckar River basin and then into the Rhine River. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a larger river system that flows to the North Sea, making effective treatment important for downstream water quality.

The plant's treated effluent enters the local water system, which flows into the Neckar River and subsequently the Rhine River, one of Europe's major waterways. The Rhine basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is a critical migratory corridor for fish species. The plant's location in the Swabian Alb region means it contributes to protecting groundwater and surface water quality in a karst-influenced landscape.
