The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km) means its discharge can influence coastal water quality, making proper treatment essential for protecting downstream ecosystems and public health.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow toward the Paraná River basin, which ultimately reaches the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply. The plant's coastal proximity (within 10 km) means its effluent can affect nearshore marine environments, requiring effective nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication.
