Overview
ETE FOSSA VILA BORGHESE is a secondary treatment plant in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil, serving 95 people and discharging 66.00 m³/day of treated wastewater.
ETE FOSSA VILA BORGHESE is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Despraiado neighborhood of Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso state in Brazil's Centro-Oeste region. The plant serves a small population of 95 residents, reflecting its role in localized sanitation infrastructure within the metropolitan area of Cuiabá. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for most municipal wastewater. The plant's discharge volume of 66.00 m³/day indicates it operates at a modest scale consistent with its small service population. Brazilian environmental legislation mandates that treated effluent meet quality standards before discharge. The treated effluent from ETE FOSSA VILA BORGHESE is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Cuiabá River basin, part of the larger Paraguay River watershed. This region is ecologically significant as it lies within the Pantanal, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands, which supports diverse aquatic life and migratory species. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this sensitive ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Cuiabá River basin, which flows into the Paraguay River and eventually contributes to the Pantanal wetland system. The Pantanal is a vast floodplain that supports exceptional biodiversity, including fish, birds, and aquatic mammals. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient loading and contamination that could harm this ecologically sensitive region.
