Nadasd Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Nádasd, a village in Vas County within the Nyugat-Dunántúl region of western Hungary. The plant serves a population of 1,850, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this small agglomeration. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 1,250 m³/day and an average discharge volume of 218.08 m³/day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of local wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Rába River, a tributary of the Danube. This places the plant within the Danube River Basin, one of Europe's most significant hydrological systems. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into small streams that flow into the Rába River, which joins the Danube near Győr. The Danube then carries water through Hungary and into the Black Sea. The Rába River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for fish migration. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water quality in the Danube Basin.
