ETE IPE DOURADOS is a wastewater treatment plant located in Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a population of about 20,028, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. As a Brazilian facility, the plant is subject to CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and the National Water Resources Policy (Law 9.433/1997), which set effluent discharge standards and water quality goals. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local watercourse within the Paraná River basin, which ultimately flows into the Río de la Plata estuary. The region's aquatic ecosystems depend on proper wastewater treatment to maintain water quality and support biodiversity, including fish species and riparian vegetation.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major drainage systems. Treated effluent from the plant likely enters a tributary of the Paraná River, which flows southward through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina before reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and urban use. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient enrichment and protect downstream ecosystems.
