ETE GUAPO is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Guapó, within the Goiânia intermediate region of Goiás state, Brazil. The plant serves a population of about 8,872 people, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Brazilian regulatory frameworks. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by Brazil's National Environmental Council (CONAMA) for most inland municipalities. This level of treatment effectively removes organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with national discharge standards. The plant's discharge volume is recorded at 933.12 units, reflecting its operational scale. Treated effluent from ETE GUAPO is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply and agriculture. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this ecologically significant basin.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Paraná River basin, a vast watershed that drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. This region supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is critical for water resources in central Brazil. Secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, safeguarding downstream habitats and water quality for communities and wildlife.
