Overview
ETE FOSSA MAY FLOWER is a secondary treatment plant in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil, serving a small population of 25. It discharges 17.11 units of treated wastewater into the local watershed.
ETE FOSSA MAY FLOWER is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Goiabeira neighborhood of Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso state in Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 25 people and operates with secondary treatment, which is typical for small-scale facilities in the region. Brazil's wastewater treatment regulations are governed by the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) and state-level environmental agencies. For small agglomerations like this, secondary treatment is often the minimum required to reduce organic load and protect receiving water bodies. The plant's discharge volume is recorded at 17.11 units, indicating a modest flow consistent with its small service population. The plant discharges into the Cuiabá River basin, which is part of the larger Paraguay River watershed. This river system flows through the Pantanal, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands, supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory species. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads entering this ecologically sensitive region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Cuiabá River, a tributary of the Paraguay River, which ultimately flows into the Pantanal wetland. The Pantanal is a vast floodplain ecosystem that supports high biodiversity, including fish, birds, and aquatic plants. Secondary treatment at this plant helps mitigate organic pollution and protects downstream water quality in this sensitive environment.
