ETE MUNDO VERDE Wastewater Treatment Plant, Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil

ETE MUNDO VERDE is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Abrantes district of Camaçari, within the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of approximately 15 people, reflecting its role in a localized community within this rapidly urbanizing coastal region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. As a small-scale facility in Brazil, it operates under the national environmental regulations overseen by the Instituto do Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos (INEMA) of Bahia, which sets discharge standards to protect water quality. The plant's discharge volume is recorded at 1.07 (likely in liters per second or cubic meters per day), indicating a modest flow. The treated effluent from ETE MUNDO VERDE is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Atlantic Ocean. The plant is situated within 10 kilometers of the coast, making its discharge relevant to coastal water quality. The region's aquatic ecosystems, including mangroves and estuaries, depend on proper treatment to prevent nutrient loading and maintain biodiversity.

The plant discharges into the coastal watershed of the Salvador region, which flows into the Atlantic Ocean. This area features sensitive mangrove ecosystems and estuarine habitats that support diverse marine life, including fish and crustaceans. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect these ecologically important coastal waters.
