ETE II Pedro Gomes is a wastewater treatment plant located in Vila São João, Pedro Gomes, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 160 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small community setting within the Região Geográfica Imediata de Coxim. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions and state-level environmental laws), secondary treatment is typically required for municipal wastewater to protect receiving water quality. The plant's discharge volume is reported as 19.79 (likely in cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a small-scale operation. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies, which eventually drain into the Paraguay River basin, part of the larger Paraná River system. This region is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as an important corridor for migratory species. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality in this watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Paraguay River basin, a major tributary of the Paraná River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including wetlands and gallery forests, and is important for regional biodiversity. The area is part of the Cerrado biome, which is ecologically sensitive due to its high endemism and role in water regulation.
