The plant plays a role in reducing pollution loads in the region's densely populated urban watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Capibaribe River system, which flows through Recife and empties into the Atlantic Ocean via the Port of Recife. This estuarine environment supports mangroves and diverse aquatic life, making proper wastewater treatment critical to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream coastal habitats.
