ETE JUSSARA AMAMBAI Wastewater Treatment Plant, Amambai, Brazil

ETE JUSSARA AMAMBAI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Amambai, a city in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a population of 1,736 residents, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for a small community in the Centro-Oeste region. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment level required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for most inland wastewater facilities. This process typically involves biological degradation of organic matter, reducing pollutants before discharge. The plant's daily discharge volume is 366.34 cubic meters, indicating a modest operational scale consistent with the population served. The treated effluent is released into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system in South America. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and supports the ecological health of the region's rivers and streams, which are important for local biodiversity and human use.

The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which flows through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina before reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for agriculture, fishing, and recreation. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive system.
