The treated effluent from Slade Hooton STW discharges into local streams that feed into the River Rother, a tributary of the River Don. The River Don flows through South Yorkshire and eventually joins the River Ouse, draining into the Humber Estuary and the North Sea. This catchment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity.

Slade Hooton STW discharges into the River Rother catchment, which flows into the River Don and ultimately the Humber Estuary. The Humber Estuary is a major ecological feature supporting migratory fish, waterbirds, and intertidal habitats. The plant's location inland, over 50 km from the coast, reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the overall water quality in the Don catchment, which is subject to UK and EU water quality standards.
