Himeshaza Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Görcsönydoboka, Hungary

Himeshaza Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Görcsönydoboka, within the Mohács district of Baranya county in southern Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,450 people, reflecting its role as a small-scale municipal treatment facility in the Dél-Dunántúl region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 3,708 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 170.93 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variability. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Danube River basin, contributing to the broader Black Sea catchment. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region's rivers and streams.

The plant discharges into a local tributary of the Danube River, which flows through Hungary and into the Black Sea. The Danube basin supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as sturgeon and carp, and provides critical habitat for migratory birds. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
