Overview
ETE COHAB NOVA CUIABA is a primary treatment plant serving 672 people in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. It discharges 468.24 cubic meters of treated wastewater, contributing to local water management.
ETE COHAB NOVA CUIABA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Porto district of Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso state in Brazil's Centro-Oeste region. The plant serves a small population of 672 residents, reflecting its role in a localized community within the broader Cuiabá metropolitan area. As a primary treatment facility, the plant provides basic physical treatment to remove settleable solids and some organic matter. In Brazil, wastewater treatment standards are set by federal regulations such as CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, which establishes effluent quality requirements. For small plants like this, primary treatment is common, though more advanced treatment may be needed to meet local water quality goals. The plant discharges into the Cuiabá River basin, which flows through the Pantanal region, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands. The Pantanal is an ecologically sensitive area that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory species. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and biodiversity in this globally significant ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Cuiabá River, a tributary of the Paraguay River, which flows through the Pantanal wetlands. The Pantanal is a vast floodplain ecosystem that supports rich biodiversity, including jaguars, capybaras, and numerous bird species. Primary treatment reduces solids but may not fully remove nutrients or pathogens, posing a risk to downstream aquatic life and water quality in this sensitive environment.
