Roszke Szennyviztisztito Telep - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Röszke, Hungary

Roszke Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Röszke, Hungary, within the Dél-Alföld region. Serving a population of approximately 3,277, the plant is part of the country's infrastructure for managing domestic wastewater in this rural area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,909 cubic meters per day and an average discharge volume of 386 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that drain into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. This contributes to the protection of the Tisza's water quality and the downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta, a significant ecological region.

The plant's discharge enters local streams that flow into the Tisza River, which ultimately reaches the Danube and the Black Sea. The Tisza River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The secondary treatment helps reduce organic pollutants and nutrients, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream waters.
