Overview
ETE 2 AGUA DO MACACO is a secondary treatment plant serving São João do Ivaí, Paraná, Brazil. It treats wastewater for a population of 1,202 with a discharge volume of 172.80 (unit unspecified).
ETE 2 AGUA DO MACACO is a wastewater treatment plant located in São João do Ivaí, within the state of Paraná, Brazil. The facility serves a small community of approximately 1,202 people, providing secondary treatment to manage domestic wastewater. Its location in the southern region of Brazil places it within a network of municipal infrastructure supporting rural and peri-urban areas. As a secondary treatment plant, ETE 2 AGUA DO MACACO employs biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the basic standards expected for small agglomerations under Brazilian regulations. The plant discharges a treated volume of 172.80 (unit unspecified), reflecting its capacity to handle the local wastewater load. Secondary treatment is the standard for communities of this size in Brazil, aligning with national environmental guidelines. The plant's discharge ultimately enters the local watershed, contributing to the broader hydrological network of the Paraná region. The treated effluent supports the ecological health of downstream water bodies, which are part of the Paraná River basin. This basin is vital for regional biodiversity, agriculture, and water supply, making the plant's role in pollution control significant for maintaining water quality in the area.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed within the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. The Paraná River flows southward through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, eventually reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and is ecologically sensitive to nutrient loading from wastewater. Effective secondary treatment helps mitigate eutrophication risks in this important basin.
