Overview
ETE LUZIANIA serves Luziânia, Goiás, Brazil, treating wastewater for approximately 33,353 people. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations for water quality.
ETE LUZIANIA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Luziânia, Goiás, Brazil, serving a population of around 33,353 residents. The plant is situated in the Central-West region, near the Federal District, and is part of the integrated development region of Brasília and its surroundings. Brazil's wastewater treatment framework is governed by the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) and the National Water Agency (ANA), which set discharge standards and water quality criteria. For a plant of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent standards before discharge into receiving water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local watercourses that drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. Proper treatment at ETE LUZIANIA helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Cerrado biome, a tropical savanna region. Treated effluent from ETE LUZIANIA likely flows into tributaries of the Paraná River basin, which ultimately drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The Cerrado's aquatic ecosystems are sensitive to nutrient pollution, and effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent eutrophication and maintain biodiversity in downstream rivers and reservoirs.
Frequently asked questions
ETE LUZIANIA is located in Luziânia, Goiás, Brazil, in the Central-West region near the Federal District.
The plant serves approximately 33,353 people in Luziânia and surrounding areas.
The plant treats wastewater that would otherwise affect local streams and tributaries of the Paraná River basin, which flows into the Río de la Plata estuary.
Brazil's CONAMA resolutions set effluent discharge standards. Plants of this scale are expected to provide at least secondary treatment to meet water quality criteria for receiving water bodies.
For a population of this size, secondary treatment (e.g., activated sludge or stabilization ponds) is standard to comply with national discharge limits and protect downstream ecosystems.
