Overview
ETE CAMAPUA I is a secondary treatment plant serving 827 people in Camapuã, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It discharges 226.60 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily.
ETE CAMAPUA I is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Camapuã, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 827 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small urban community within the Cerrado biome. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological process for removing organic matter and suspended solids. In Brazil, wastewater treatment is regulated by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) and state environmental agencies, with secondary treatment being typical for smaller agglomerations. The plant discharges 226.60 cubic meters per day of treated effluent. The treated effluent is released into local water bodies that drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This downstream connection to the Paraná River and eventually the Río de la Plata estuary underscores the plant's role in protecting regional water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters local streams that flow into the Sucuriú River, a tributary of the Paraná River. The Paraná River basin supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species, and is ecologically sensitive to nutrient loading. The Cerrado region's seasonal rainfall patterns influence dilution capacity, making consistent treatment important for downstream water quality.
