ETE JOVIANIA Wastewater Treatment Plant, Joviânia, Goiás

ETE JOVIANIA is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Joviânia, a city in the state of Goiás, Brazil. The plant serves a population of about 6,437 people, making it a small-scale treatment facility typical of rural municipalities in the Brazilian interior. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for most inland communities. Secondary treatment removes organic matter and suspended solids, reducing the pollutant load before discharge. The plant's discharge volume is approximately 933 cubic meters per day, reflecting the scale of the community it serves. The treated effluent from ETE JOVIANIA is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Paranaíba River basin, part of the larger Paraná River system. This region is agriculturally productive, and the plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality for irrigation and ecosystem health. The plant's operation contributes to the sanitation goals of Goiás state.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Paranaíba River, a major tributary of the Paraná River system. The Paranaíba basin supports diverse aquatic life and is important for agriculture and water supply in central Brazil. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollution, protecting downstream ecosystems and water quality for human use.
