ETE Floreal Wastewater Treatment Plant, Floreal, São Paulo, Brazil

ETE Floreal is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Floreal, a small town in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of about 2,425 residents, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this inland community. It operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which set standards for effluent quality and water resource protection. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level for small to medium agglomerations in Brazil. This process typically involves biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge volume of 393.25 cubic meters per day aligns with the scale of the population served. Treated effluent from ETE Floreal is discharged into local water bodies within the Paraná River basin, which ultimately drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting aquatic ecosystems in this agriculturally active region of southeastern Brazil.

ETE Floreal discharges into local streams that are part of the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. The Paraná River flows southward through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, eventually reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and water supply. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, mitigating impacts on downstream ecosystems.
