BOSWELL WWTP discharges into the Wabash River watershed, a major tributary of the Ohio River. The Wabash River supports diverse aquatic species and is an important ecological corridor in the Midwest. Downstream, the Ohio River flows into the Mississippi River, which empties into the Gulf of Mexico, where nutrient pollution can contribute to hypoxic zones. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading.
