Overview
ETE Riolândia Bacia 1 is a wastewater treatment plant serving 5,842 people in Riolândia, São Paulo, Brazil. It operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations and discharges into the local watershed.
ETE Riolândia Bacia 1 is a wastewater treatment facility located in Riolândia, a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,842 residents, classifying it as a small to medium-sized agglomeration. It is situated in the southeastern region of Brazil, an area characterized by a tropical climate and significant agricultural activity. As a plant serving fewer than 10,000 people, ETE Riolândia Bacia 1 is subject to Brazil's environmental regulations, which require adequate treatment to protect water quality. Typical plants of this scale in Brazil employ secondary treatment or stabilization ponds. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 cubic meter per second, indicating a moderate infrastructure. The treated effluent from ETE Riolândia Bacia 1 is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Paraná River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic life and is crucial for agriculture, hydropower, and water supply in the region. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Paraná River basin, which flows through southeastern Brazil and eventually reaches the Río de la Plata estuary. This basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse fish species and providing habitat for migratory birds. The region's tropical climate and agricultural land use make proper wastewater treatment essential to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in downstream rivers and reservoirs.
