Environmental context
The plant discharges into a watercourse within the Paraná River basin, one of South America's largest drainage systems. The Paraná River flows southward through Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina before reaching the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply and agriculture. Secondary treatment reduces organic load and suspended solids, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
