Overview
ETE Samambaia Goiania is a secondary treatment plant serving Goiânia, Brazil. It treats wastewater from a small population of 2,025 with a discharge volume of 229.82 units.
ETE Samambaia Goiania is a wastewater treatment plant located in Goiânia, the capital of Goiás state in Brazil's Centro-Oeste region. The facility serves a small population of approximately 2,025 people, reflecting its role in a localized catchment area within the broader urban infrastructure of Goiânia. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment stage that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Under Brazil's national environmental regulations (CONAMA resolutions and the National Water Resources Policy), secondary treatment is typically required for municipal wastewater to protect receiving water bodies. The treated effluent from ETE Samambaia Goiania ultimately enters the Meia Ponte River basin, which flows through Goiânia and is a tributary of the Paranaíba River, part of the larger Paraná River system. This river network supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for downstream communities, agriculture, and industry. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in this ecologically important basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Meia Ponte River basin, which drains into the Paranaíba River and eventually the Paraná River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for downstream uses. The region's tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons can affect river flows, making consistent treatment important for maintaining ecological balance.
