The plant discharges 86.40 cubic meters of treated wastewater daily. The treated effluent from ETE Sonho Meu likely enters local drainage channels that flow into the Cuiabá River, a major tributary of the Paraguay River basin. This basin is part of the Pantanal, one of the world's largest tropical wetlands and a critical ecosystem for biodiversity. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge ultimately reaches the Cuiabá River, which flows into the Paraguay River and feeds the Pantanal floodplain. The Pantanal is an ecologically sensitive region that supports diverse aquatic life, including fish, caimans, and migratory birds. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants, helping to maintain the ecological balance of this important wetland system.
