Overview
ETE ROSARIO 2 is a secondary treatment plant serving 957 people in Baixo Guandu, Espírito Santo, Brazil. It discharges 121.16 m³/day of treated wastewater into the local watershed.
ETE ROSARIO 2 is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in the Rosário II area of Baixo Guandu, in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The plant serves a small population of 957 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban community within the Região Geográfica Imediata de Colatina. As a secondary treatment facility, ETE ROSARIO 2 provides biological treatment that removes organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the typical standards for small agglomerations in Brazil. The plant operates under Brazil's national environmental regulations, which require secondary treatment for communities of this size, and is subject to permitting by the state environmental agency (Instituto Estadual de Meio Ambiente e Recursos Hídricos - IEMA). The treated effluent from ETE ROSARIO 2 is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Doce River basin, a major river system in southeastern Brazil. The Doce River flows eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, passing through ecologically sensitive areas that support diverse aquatic life and are important for regional water supply and biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Doce River basin, which flows through Espírito Santo and Minas Gerais before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The Doce River watershed supports diverse ecosystems, including Atlantic Forest remnants, and is a critical water source for communities and industries. Downstream, the river estuary and coastal zone are ecologically sensitive, hosting mangroves and fish spawning grounds that depend on good water quality.
