Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Warta River, a key tributary of the Oder River. The Oder River flows into the Szczecin Lagoon and then the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The Baltic Sea is sensitive to nutrient pollution, so effective wastewater treatment is crucial for reducing eutrophication risks.
