SKA ROT AD ROT Wastewater Treatment Plant, Berkheim, Baden-Württemberg

SKA ROT AD ROT is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Berkheim, a town in the Biberach district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,450 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under European Union 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 collection systems and treatment to protect receiving waters. The plant's discharge is regulated by German water law, which implements the EU Water Framework Directive. The treated effluent from SKA ROT AD ROT is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Danube River basin via the Iller River. The Iller flows into the Danube, which then travels through several countries to the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the local aquatic ecosystem and downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the Iller River, which flows into the Danube River. The Danube is a major European waterway that supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for millions. The plant's treatment helps maintain water quality in the Iller and Danube, protecting downstream ecosystems including fish populations and riparian habitats.
