Nyergesujfalu Kelet Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Nyergesújfalu, a town in Komárom-Esztergom county, Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 7,000 and operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard for agglomerations of this size under Hungarian and EU regulations. The plant has a designed capacity of 8,750 m³/day and currently discharges 825.17 m³/day of treated effluent. As a Hungarian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for populations between 2,000 and 10,000 in inland areas. The plant's discharge volume is well within its design capacity, indicating operational headroom. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European waterway that flows into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for millions of people. The plant's secondary treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically significant basin.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. The Danube supports a rich diversity of fish and bird species, including sturgeon and migratory waterfowl. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping to maintain the ecological health of the river system and its downstream delta.
