ZV Geltendorf Eresing Sitz Geltendorf Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bavaria

ZV Geltendorf Eresing Sitz Geltendorf is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Geltendorf, Bavaria, Germany. It serves a population of approximately 11,000 people in the communities of Geltendorf and Eresing. The plant is situated in the Landkreis Landsberg am Lech district, within the state of Bavaria. As a German wastewater treatment facility serving a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). This directive requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale, with more stringent tertiary treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treatment processes and capacity are designed to meet these regulatory standards. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Lech River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the water quality of the Lech River and the downstream Danube ecosystem, which supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species.

The plant's treated wastewater discharges into local streams that feed into the Lech River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube River basin is one of Europe's most significant ecological corridors, supporting diverse aquatic habitats and migratory fish species. The plant's operations help maintain water quality in this sensitive river system, which ultimately drains into the Black Sea.
