ETE Monte Mor Wastewater Treatment Plant, Monte Mor, São Paulo, Brazil

ETE Monte Mor is a wastewater treatment plant located in Monte Mor, within the Campinas metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. The facility serves a population of around 14,866 people, addressing the sanitation needs of this growing urban area in the state's interior. As a plant in Brazil, ETE Monte Mor operates under the national environmental framework, which includes CONAMA resolutions and state-level regulations from CETESB, São Paulo's environmental agency. The treated effluent from ETE Monte Mor is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Tietê River basin, a major river system flowing through São Paulo state. The Tietê River ultimately reaches the Paraná River basin, which feeds into the Río de la Plata estuary. This downstream connection underscores the plant's role in protecting water quality in a densely populated and economically important region.

ETE Monte Mor discharges into local streams that are part of the Tietê River basin, a critical waterway in São Paulo state. The Tietê River flows through the metropolitan region of São Paulo and eventually joins the Paraná River, which drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water downstream. Protecting this system from untreated wastewater is essential for maintaining ecological health and public water supply.
