Overview
ETE RIO DO CAMPO serves Campo Mourão, Paraná, Brazil, treating wastewater for approximately 35,213 residents. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations for water quality.
ETE RIO DO CAMPO is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Campo Mourão, within the state of Paraná, Brazil. Serving an estimated population of 35,213, the facility is part of the region's sanitation infrastructure managed by local authorities. Campo Mourão lies in the southern region of Brazil, characterized by a subtropical climate and agricultural activity. Brazil's wastewater treatment standards are governed by CONAMA resolutions and state-level environmental agencies. For agglomerations of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent quality standards before discharge. The plant's operational framework aligns with these national guidelines, ensuring compliance with water pollution control measures. The treated effluent from ETE RIO DO CAMPO is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture, industry, and human consumption downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in the region's rivers and reservoirs.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters tributaries of the Paraná River basin, which flows into the Paraná River and eventually reaches the Río de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports important aquatic habitats and is a critical water resource for the region. Effective treatment helps maintain ecological balance and prevents nutrient enrichment in downstream water bodies.
