SKA UISSIGHEIM Wastewater Treatment Plant, Külsheim, Baden-Württemberg

SKA UISSIGHEIM is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Uissigheim district of Külsheim, in the Main-Tauber-Kreis region of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population of around 2,050, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for freshwater discharges from agglomerations of this size. The plant has a designed capacity of 2,300 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of approximately 519 cubic meters per day, indicating ample reserve capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Tauber River, a tributary of the Main River, which flows into the Rhine. The Rhine basin supports diverse aquatic life and is a major European waterway. The plant's secondary treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed the Tauber River, part of the Rhine basin. The Rhine is a major European river supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing drinking water for millions. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and nutrients, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
