ETE NARANDIBA Wastewater Treatment Plant - Narandiba, São Paulo, Brazil

ETE NARANDIBA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Narandiba, a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,595 residents, classifying it as a small-scale facility within the region's sanitation infrastructure. It operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater to protect water quality. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard level that removes biodegradable organic matter and suspended solids. The recorded discharge volume of 411.80 units indicates active operation. Brazilian regulations, such as CONAMA resolutions, set effluent standards for such facilities to minimize environmental impact. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system in South America. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption. Proper treatment at ETE NARANDIBA helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, contributing to the health of downstream environments.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Paraná River basin, which flows through southeastern Brazil and into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports important aquatic habitats and is used for water supply and irrigation. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent eutrophication and protect biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive region.
