Hollohaza Ipari Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Hollóháza, a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, northern Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 47 and has a designed capacity of 104.00 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 5.54 m³/day. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, meeting stringent standards under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For small agglomerations like this, the directive requires appropriate treatment to protect receiving waters. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local stream or groundwater system, ultimately contributing to the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube and then the Black Sea. Advanced treatment helps safeguard local water quality and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The treated effluent likely enters a small watercourse that flows into the Bodrog River, then the Tisza, and finally the Danube before reaching the Black Sea. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loads, protecting aquatic life in these downstream waters from eutrophication.
