ETE I PEDRO GOMES is a wastewater treatment plant located in Vila São João, Pedro Gomes, within the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 321 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting in the Central-West region of the country. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage that removes organic matter and suspended solids. For a facility of this scale, secondary treatment aligns with typical Brazilian regulatory requirements for smaller communities, as outlined by the National Environment Council (CONAMA) resolutions. The plant discharges approximately 39.57 cubic meters of treated wastewater per day. The treated effluent likely flows into local watercourses that drain into the Paraguay River basin, part of the larger Paraná River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and water supply. Proper treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems and water quality in this sensitive savanna (Cerrado) region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Paraguay River basin, which flows into the Paraná River and eventually the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species important for local fisheries, and is ecologically sensitive due to the surrounding Cerrado biome, which is a biodiversity hotspot. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in this downstream environment.
