Overview
ETE Guanabara is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil, serving approximately 1,021 people with a daily discharge volume of 172.80 cubic meters.
ETE Guanabara is a wastewater treatment facility located in Cáceres, a city in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of around 1,021 residents, reflecting its role in a localized community within the broader municipal infrastructure. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. This level of treatment is typical for facilities discharging to sensitive environments or under stringent local regulations. Brazil's national environmental standards, such as CONAMA resolutions, guide the operation of such plants to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies, ultimately contributing to the Paraguay River basin, which flows through the Pantanal, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands. This region supports rich biodiversity and is ecologically sensitive, making advanced treatment crucial for preserving downstream aquatic life and water quality.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the local drainage network, which feeds into the Paraguay River basin. This basin is part of the Pantanal, a vast floodplain ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic and terrestrial species. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects the ecological integrity of this globally significant wetland.
