Overview
ETE CONDAP is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving 303 people in Coronel Sapucaia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. It discharges 19.41 cubic meters of treated effluent, supporting local sanitation.
ETE CONDAP is a wastewater treatment facility located in Coronel Sapucaia, a municipality in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 303 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small urban community. It is situated in the Centro-Oeste region, near the border with Paraguay. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological process for removing organic matter and suspended solids. For a facility of this scale, secondary treatment aligns with typical requirements under Brazilian regulations, such as CONAMA resolutions, which mandate adequate treatment to protect water quality. The treated effluent likely flows into local streams or rivers within the Paraná River basin, which ultimately drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. This downstream system supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply. Proper treatment at ETE CONDAP helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads, protecting both local ecosystems and downstream communities.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters local watercourses that are part of the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin drains into the Río de la Plata, a large estuary that supports fisheries and provides drinking water for millions. The region's subtropical climate and agricultural land use mean that nutrient pollution from untreated wastewater could contribute to eutrophication. Secondary treatment at ETE CONDAP mitigates this risk by reducing organic load and suspended solids.
