Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the Mosoni-Duna branch of the Danube River system, which flows into the main Danube and eventually the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The region's flat terrain and agricultural land use make nutrient removal critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
