The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic habitats.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which feeds into the Rába River and eventually the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European waterway that supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions of people. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the sensitive Danube catchment area.
