Overview
ETE COHAB NOVA CACERES is a primary treatment plant serving 2,552 residents in Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil. It discharges 432 m³/day of treated wastewater into local waterways.
ETE COHAB NOVA CACERES is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Cohab Nova neighborhood of Cáceres, in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The plant serves a population of 2,552 people, making it a small-scale facility within the municipal wastewater infrastructure of Cáceres. The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes such as sedimentation to remove settleable solids. As a small agglomeration, it operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which set discharge standards for organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge volume is 432 cubic meters per day. The treated effluent is released into local water bodies that drain into the Paraguay River basin, a major system in the Pantanal region. The Pantanal is one of the world's largest tropical wetlands, supporting rich biodiversity. The plant's primary treatment level means that nutrient removal is limited, which can contribute to downstream eutrophication risks in sensitive aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Paraguay River, a key tributary of the Pantanal wetland system. The Pantanal is an ecologically sensitive floodplain that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish, caimans, and migratory birds. Primary treatment provides limited removal of nutrients and pathogens, so downstream water quality may be affected by organic loads and suspended solids, particularly during low-flow periods.
Frequently asked questions
ETE COHAB NOVA CACERES is located in the Cohab Nova neighborhood of Cáceres, in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The full address is Rua dos Gomes Neto, Cohab Nova, Cáceres.
The plant serves a population of 2,552 residents, making it a small-scale facility in the Cáceres municipal wastewater system.
The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that are part of the Paraguay River basin. The discharge volume is 432 cubic meters per day.
The plant provides primary treatment, which involves physical processes like sedimentation to remove settleable solids. This is a basic level of treatment before discharge.
The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental standards, which set effluent limits for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS). For small agglomerations, primary treatment may be acceptable, but more advanced treatment is often required to protect sensitive water bodies like the Pantanal.
