Magosliget Szennyviztisztito Telep - Primary Wastewater Treatment in Észak-Alföld, Hungary

Magosliget Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in the village of Magosliget, in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a small population of approximately 45 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. It operates under Hungary's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). As a primary treatment plant, it provides basic physical and chemical treatment to remove settleable solids and some organic matter. The plant has a designed capacity of 335 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 5.31 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. For small agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent, the EU directive allows primary treatment as a minimum standard, which is consistent with the plant's scale. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that drain into the Tisza River basin, part of the larger Danube River system. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural land and small settlements, with the plant playing a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream aquatic environment.

The plant's discharge enters small streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Primary treatment reduces suspended solids and organic load, helping to maintain water quality in this sensitive river system.
