Overview
ETE KM 119 serves Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brazil, treating wastewater for approximately 32,030 residents. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations for wastewater management.
ETE KM 119 is a wastewater treatment plant located in Campo Mourão, within the state of Paraná, Brazil. Serving a population of around 32,030 people, it is classified as a medium-sized agglomeration under Brazilian regulatory frameworks. The plant is situated in the southern region of Brazil, an area characterized by subtropical climate and agricultural activity. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental standards, which require adequate treatment for municipal wastewater. Brazilian regulations, such as CONAMA Resolution 430/2011, set discharge limits for pollutants, and plants of this scale typically employ secondary treatment to meet these standards. The plant's design and operation are overseen by state environmental agencies. The treated effluent from ETE KM 119 is discharged into local water bodies that are part of the Paraná River basin, one of the most significant river systems in South America. This basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect downstream ecosystems and water quality in the region.
Environmental context
ETE KM 119 discharges into water bodies within the Paraná River basin, which flows into the Río de la Plata estuary and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean.
