Environmental context
The Tuliszkow plant discharges into the Warta River basin, which flows into the Oder River and eventually reaches the Baltic Sea via the Szczecin Lagoon. The region's watershed supports diverse freshwater habitats and is important for migratory fish species. Secondary treatment helps reduce biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
