Overview
ETE Buena Vista Goiania is a secondary treatment plant in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, serving approximately 2,893 people. It discharges 328.32 cubic meters of treated wastewater, supporting local water quality in the Meia Ponte River basin.
ETE Buena Vista Goiania is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in the Residencial Della Penna neighborhood of Goiânia, the capital of Goiás state in central-western Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 2,893 residents, classifying it as a small-scale treatment facility within the urban fabric of Goiânia. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required under Brazil's National Environmental Council (CONAMA) regulations for urban wastewater. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Meia Ponte River, a key tributary of the Paranaíba River within the Paraná River basin. This river system supports agricultural irrigation, drinking water supplies, and aquatic habitats in the Cerrado biome. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecosystem health in this rapidly urbanizing region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Meia Ponte River watershed, which flows into the Paranaíba River and then the Paraná River, eventually reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The Cerrado savanna biome surrounding Goiânia is ecologically sensitive, with diverse aquatic species and seasonal floodplains that depend on consistent water quality. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollution, supporting the river's role in regional water supply and biodiversity.
