ETE BACIA B CAMPOS NOVOS is a wastewater treatment plant located in Campos Novos, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 11,269 residents, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category under Brazilian wastewater management frameworks. It is situated in the southern region of Brazil, an area characterized by a humid subtropical climate with distinct seasonal rainfall patterns. As a Brazilian wastewater facility, the plant operates under the national environmental regulations overseen by the Ministry of Environment and state environmental agencies such as FATMA (now IMA) in Santa Catarina. For agglomerations of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. It is expected to meet the standards set by CONAMA resolutions for effluent quality. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Uruguay River basin, which flows southward to the Rio de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply and agriculture. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect downstream ecosystems and water quality in the broader basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Uruguay River basin, which flows into the Rio de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species important for local fisheries, and provides water for irrigation and drinking. The region's subtropical climate with heavy summer rains can increase runoff and pollutant loads, making effective treatment crucial for maintaining water quality in downstream ecosystems.
