ETE JUSSARA GO is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Jussara, a city in the state of Goiás, Brazil. The plant serves a population of around 12,668 residents, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. It is situated in the Central-West region, an area characterized by tropical savanna climate and significant agricultural activity. As a plant in Brazil, ETE JUSSARA GO is subject to the country's environmental legislation, including CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and state-level regulations from Goiás. For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent standards before discharge. The plant's location along Estrada Ribeirão Água Limpa suggests it treats wastewater from the urban area and likely discharges into a local watercourse. The treated effluent from ETE JUSSARA GO ultimately flows into the Ribeirão Água Limpa stream, which is part of the larger Araguaia-Tocantins river basin. This basin drains into the Atlantic Ocean via the Amazon River delta, making the plant's operations important for downstream water quality. The surrounding region supports diverse aquatic life and is used for agriculture and livestock, emphasizing the need for effective nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Ribeirão Água Limpa, a tributary of the Araguaia River, which flows into the Tocantins River and eventually reaches the Atlantic Ocean through the Amazon River estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish species important for local fisheries. The region's tropical climate and agricultural runoff make nutrient management critical to prevent algal blooms and maintain water quality downstream.
