ETE JATEI II Wastewater Treatment Plant, Jateí, Mato Grosso do Sul

ETE JATEI II is a wastewater treatment plant located in Jateí, within the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The facility serves a small population of 338 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or small-town setting. It operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which set standards for effluent quality and water resource protection. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level that removes organic matter and suspended solids through biological processes. The discharge volume of 107.47 units indicates the scale of operations. For small agglomerations like this, secondary treatment is typically sufficient to meet regulatory requirements for inland discharge. The treated effluent is released into local water bodies that drain into the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system in South America. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is vital for agriculture and water supply. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically significant region.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Paraná River basin, which ultimately reaches the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The secondary treatment process reduces organic pollutants, helping to maintain water quality in downstream ecosystems.
