Overview
Kisdobsza szennyviztisztito mu is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in Kisdobsza, Hungary, serving a population of 500. It discharges treated effluent into local water bodies with a design capacity of 950 m³/day.
Kisdobsza szennyviztisztito mu is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Kisdobsza, a village in Baranya county within the Dél-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a small population of approximately 500 residents, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this rural community. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent. With a design capacity of 950 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 58.94 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating efficient handling of local wastewater loads. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the broader Black Sea catchment. Advanced treatment ensures high-quality effluent, protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting Hungary's compliance with EU water quality standards.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams that feed into the Drava River, a major tributary of the Danube. This watershed ultimately drains into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory fish species. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
