ZV AW Ergoldsbach Neufahrn SErgoldsbach is a wastewater treatment plant located in Winklsaß, a locality in the municipality of Neufahrn in Niederbayern, Landkreis Landshut, Bavaria, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 10,252 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration 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 and capacity are designed to meet these standards, ensuring compliance with national and European water quality requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the downstream environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Danube River basin. The Danube flows through multiple countries before reaching the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing important ecological services. The region's aquatic habitats are sensitive to nutrient pollution, making effective wastewater treatment critical for preserving biodiversity and water quality.
