Overview
ETE NOVA CANAA is a secondary treatment plant serving 1,365 people in Cuiabá, Mato Grosso, Brazil. It discharges 950.40 m³/day of treated wastewater into the local watershed.
ETE NOVA CANAA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Cuiabá, the capital of Mato Grosso state in Brazil's Centro-Oeste region. The plant serves a small population of 1,365 people, reflecting its role in a localized community within the broader Cuiabá metropolitan area. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage required under Brazilian regulations (CONAMA resolutions) for most municipal wastewater. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and sedimentation to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant discharges 950.40 m³/day of treated effluent. The treated effluent from ETE NOVA CANAA is released into the Cuiabá River basin, which flows through the Pantanal region, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands. The Pantanal is a critical ecosystem supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory species. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive area.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Cuiabá River basin, which drains into the Paraguay River and ultimately the Paraná River system, flowing to the Río de la Plata estuary. The downstream Pantanal wetlands are a vast floodplain ecosystem that supports high biodiversity, including fish, birds, and aquatic plants. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollution, helping to maintain the ecological balance of this important watershed.
