Overview
ETE CACADORES is a wastewater treatment plant serving Cambé, Paraná, Brazil. It treats wastewater for approximately 60,744 people, operating under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE CACADORES is a wastewater treatment plant located in Cambé, within the state of Paraná, Brazil. The facility serves a population of approximately 60,744 people, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. Brazil's wastewater treatment standards are governed by CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and the National Water Resources Policy (Law 9.433/1997). For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent quality standards before discharge. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national environmental standards. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that ultimately drain into 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. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is vital for regional water supply and agriculture.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local streams within the Paraná River basin, which drains into the Paraná River and eventually the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and provides water for agriculture and urban use. The region's subtropical climate and agricultural activity make proper wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality in downstream ecosystems.
