Overview
ETE SAGRES is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Sagres, São Paulo, Brazil. It treats wastewater for a population of 1,728 with a discharge volume of 217.90 (unit unspecified).
ETE SAGRES is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Sagres, within the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a small community of approximately 1,728 people, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this inland town in the southeastern region of the country. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is a standard biological process that significantly reduces organic matter and suspended solids. Secondary treatment aligns with typical requirements for small to medium agglomerations under Brazilian environmental regulations, which are enforced by state agencies such as CETESB in São Paulo. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, contributing to the protection of downstream water resources. The plant's location inland, away from the coast, means its discharge impacts freshwater systems rather than marine environments. This supports the ecological health of local rivers and streams that ultimately drain into the Paraná River basin, a major hydrological system in South America.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local water body within the Paraná River basin, which flows into the Río de la Plata estuary. The region's aquatic ecosystems support diverse fish species and riparian vegetation. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution that could cause eutrophication in downstream reservoirs and rivers.
