Dhali Para Water Treatment Plant KMC - Khulna Municipal Wastewater Facility

Dhali Para Water Treatment Plant KMC is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Khulna, Bangladesh. The plant serves the local population as part of the city's water and sanitation infrastructure, contributing to public health and environmental protection in the region. As a treatment plant in Bangladesh, it operates under the national environmental regulations administered by the Department of Environment (DoE). Plants of this scale typically employ conventional treatment methods such as activated sludge or oxidation ponds to meet national effluent standards. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that flow into the Bay of Bengal via the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta system. This delta is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing critical habitat for fish and migratory birds. Proper treatment helps reduce pollution loads entering this sensitive coastal ecosystem.

The plant discharges into the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta, one of the world's largest river deltas, which drains into the Bay of Bengal. This region supports rich biodiversity, including mangrove forests and critical fish nursery habitats. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and the ecological health of the delta and coastal waters.
