Morahalom Szennyviztisztito Telep - Mórahalom Wastewater Treatment Plant, Hungary

Morahalom Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Mórahalom, a town in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,300 people, making it a small to medium-sized facility within the country's wastewater infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity of 13,844 m³/day indicates the plant is sized to accommodate future growth or seasonal variations. The current discharge volume of 860.54 m³/day suggests the plant operates well below its design capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube River. The Danube flows into the Black Sea, making this plant part of a large transboundary river system. Proper treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality in the Danube Delta.

The plant discharges into the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually the Black Sea. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in this sensitive river system.
