ETE Paranaíba is a wastewater treatment plant located in Paranaíba, a city in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 19,676 residents, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Brazilian regulatory standards. Its location in the Centro-Oeste region places it within the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system in South America. Brazil's wastewater treatment regulations are governed by federal laws such as the National Environmental Policy and CONAMA resolutions, which set discharge standards for pollutants. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent quality standards. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in a unit such as m³/s or similar), indicating its operational scale. The treated effluent from ETE Paranaíba ultimately flows into the Paraná River basin, which drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is vital for regional water supply and agriculture. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which flows through central Brazil and eventually reaches the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish species and riparian habitats. The region's tropical climate and agricultural activity make effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and preventing eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
