ETE Dourado SP is a wastewater treatment plant located in Dourado, a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 7,766 people, classifying it as a small-scale facility within the region's sanitation infrastructure. Dourado is situated in the interior of São Paulo state, an area characterized by agricultural activity and dispersed urban settlements. As a Brazilian wastewater treatment plant, ETE Dourado SP operates under the national regulatory framework established by the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) and the National Water Agency (ANA). For small agglomerations like Dourado, secondary treatment is typically required to reduce organic load and suspended solids before discharge. The plant's design and operation are expected to comply with CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, which sets effluent standards for wastewater treatment systems. The treated effluent from ETE Dourado SP is discharged into a local watercourse, likely a tributary of the Jacaré-Guaçu River or the Tietê River basin. The Tietê River flows through São Paulo state and eventually reaches the Paraná River, which drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply and irrigation.
Environmental context
The plant's receiving water body is part of the Tietê River basin, which drains into the Paraná River and ultimately the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports agricultural irrigation, livestock, and freshwater ecosystems. The region's tropical climate with seasonal rainfall influences flow variability, making consistent treatment important for maintaining water quality and preventing eutrophication in downstream reservoirs.
