ETE Harry Amorim is a wastewater treatment plant located in Dourados, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The facility serves a small population of 419 residents, reflecting its role in a localized community within the broader Dourados region. The plant is situated along Rodovia Gumercindo Pimenta dos Reis in the São Pedro neighborhood. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Secondary treatment is typical for small-scale facilities in Brazil. The plant discharges approximately 89.86 cubic meters of treated wastewater per day, indicating a modest operational scale. The treated effluent is released into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is important for regional water resources. The plant's inland location, far from the coast, reduces direct marine impact, but its discharge contributes to the health of local streams and rivers.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which flows through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina before reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. This basin supports rich biodiversity, including fish species and riparian habitats. The treated effluent from the plant, though small in volume, contributes to the overall water quality in the local streams that feed into the larger river system.
