Weidenbach Wastewater Treatment Plant, Triesdorf, Bayern, Germany

The Weidenbach wastewater treatment plant is located in Triesdorf, a district of Weidenbach in the Landkreis Ansbach, Bayern, Germany. This facility serves a population of approximately 3,869 residents and operates with advanced treatment technology, ensuring high-quality effluent standards. With a designed capacity of 4,800 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 693.30 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. As a German facility, it complies with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates advanced treatment for sensitive areas and secondary treatment for all agglomerations above 2,000 population equivalent. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Rhine River basin, contributing to the protection of the North Sea ecosystem. The advanced treatment process helps safeguard downstream aquatic life and supports regional water quality goals.

The plant discharges into the local watershed within the Rhine River basin, which flows through Germany and the Netherlands before reaching the North Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for migratory fish species. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
