Mór Szennyvíztisztító Telep - Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant in Mór, Hungary

Mór Szennyvíztisztító Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mór, a town in Fejér County within the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The facility serves a population of around 16,211 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU classification. Its location in the Transdanubian region places it within the Danube River basin, a major European waterway. As a plant in an EU member state, Mór Szennyvíztisztító Telep is subject to the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this scale (between 10,000 and 100,000 population equivalent), the directive requires secondary treatment as a minimum. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar units), indicating a facility sized to handle the local wastewater load. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately flow into the Danube River via the Sió Canal or other tributaries. The Danube then carries the water to the Black Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the water quality of these downstream environments, supporting aquatic life and preventing eutrophication in the Danube Delta ecosystem.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which drains into the Black Sea. The Danube is a vital European waterway supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish spawning grounds and migratory bird habitats. Proper treatment at this facility helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to algal blooms and oxygen depletion in downstream waters, particularly in the ecologically sensitive Danube Delta.
