Overview
ETE NOVA XAVANTINA MT is a municipal wastewater treatment plant serving approximately 10,000 people in Nova Xavantina, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations for wastewater management.
ETE NOVA XAVANTINA MT is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Nova Xavantina, a city in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 10,000 residents, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category. It is situated in the Central-West region of Brazil, an area characterized by the Cerrado biome and seasonal rainfall patterns. Brazil's wastewater treatment standards are governed by CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and the National Basic Sanitation Plan (PLANSAB). For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to reduce organic load and suspended solids. It is expected to comply with federal effluent standards for discharge into local water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a tributary of the Araguaia River basin, which flows northward through the Cerrado and eventually into the Amazon River system. The receiving water body supports diverse aquatic life and is important for local agriculture and fishing communities. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Araguaia River basin, a major tributary of the Tocantins River that ultimately drains into the Amazon River delta. The region's Cerrado ecosystem is a biodiversity hotspot, and the river supports species such as the Araguaia river dolphin and various migratory fish. Effective wastewater treatment is critical to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive watershed.
