Overview
ETE RIO PARANAPANEMA serves Jacarezinho, Paraná, Brazil, treating wastewater for approximately 30,000 residents. The plant operates under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE RIO PARANAPANEMA is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Jacarezinho, Paraná, Brazil. Situated along BR-153 in the Marques dos Reis area, the facility serves an estimated population of 29,955 people, placing it in the medium-agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. Brazil's wastewater treatment standards are governed by CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and the National Water Resources Policy (Law 9.433/1997). For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to reduce organic load and suspended solids before discharge. Regulatory compliance is expected under state-level environmental licensing from the Instituto Água e Terra do Paraná. The treated effluent from ETE RIO PARANAPANEMA discharges into the Paranapanema River basin, which flows into the Paraná River and eventually the Río de la Plata estuary. The Paranapanema River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water source for regional agriculture and communities. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Paranapanema River basin, a tributary of the Paraná River, which ultimately drains into the Río de la Plata estuary. The Paranapanema River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish species important for local fisheries. Downstream, the Paraná River floodplain is an ecologically sensitive area that provides habitat for migratory birds and aquatic fauna. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient enrichment and maintain water quality in this interconnected river system.
