Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Sajó River basin, which flows into the Tisza River and eventually the Danube River, reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Carpathian Basin. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal areas.
