Overview
ETE GUADALUPE is a municipal wastewater treatment plant serving Guadalupe, Piauí, Brazil. It serves a population of 1,060 and operates under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE GUADALUPE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Guadalupe, in the state of Piauí, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of approximately 1,060 residents, providing essential sanitation services to the local community. It is situated in the northeastern region of Brazil, an area characterized by a semi-arid climate and seasonal rainfall patterns. As a small-scale facility, ETE GUADALUPE is subject to Brazil's environmental regulations, including CONAMA resolutions and state-level water quality standards. These regulations set effluent discharge limits and treatment requirements based on the receiving water body's classification. For plants serving small populations, treatment typically involves at least secondary processes to reduce organic load and pathogens before discharge. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Parnaíba River basin, one of the major river systems in northeastern Brazil. The Parnaíba River flows northward into the Atlantic Ocean, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and human consumption. Proper wastewater treatment at ETE GUADALUPE helps protect downstream water quality and the ecological health of the region.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge contributes to the Parnaíba River basin, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. This basin supports a variety of aquatic life and is important for local fisheries and agriculture. The semi-arid climate of Piauí means that water resources are particularly sensitive to pollution, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
