ETE ACLIMACAO is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Aclimação neighborhood of Uberlândia, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,849 residents, making it a small-scale facility within the city's sanitation infrastructure. As a Brazilian wastewater treatment plant, ETE ACLIMACAO is subject to the national regulatory framework established by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) and the Ministry of Cities. For small agglomerations, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent standards for organic matter and suspended solids. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water downstream. Proper treatment at ETE ACLIMACAO helps protect water quality in the region's streams and rivers.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local tributaries of the Paraná River basin, which drains into the Rio Paraná and eventually the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic life, including fish species important for local fisheries. The region's tropical climate and seasonal rainfall patterns influence flow rates and pollutant dilution, making consistent treatment essential for maintaining downstream water quality.
