ETE TRES ANGICOS Wastewater Treatment Plant, Capanema, Paraná, Brazil

ETE TRES ANGICOS is a wastewater treatment facility located in the Tres Angicos area of Capanema, within the state of Paraná, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 5,854 residents, providing secondary treatment to municipal wastewater. As part of Brazil's growing sanitation infrastructure, it plays a key role in managing wastewater in this southern region. The plant operates with secondary treatment, which involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. With a daily discharge volume of 648.00 cubic meters, it meets the treatment standards expected for communities of this size under Brazilian environmental regulations. The facility is managed as part of the local municipal sanitation system, contributing to public health and environmental protection. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Iguaçu River basin, one of the major river systems in southern Brazil. The Iguaçu River flows westward to the Paraná River, which forms part of the border with Argentina and Paraguay. This downstream connection underscores the plant's role in protecting water quality in a region known for its biodiversity and agricultural activity.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Iguaçu River basin, which flows into the Paraná River and ultimately the Río de la Plata estuary. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. The surrounding area includes agricultural lands and remnants of the Atlantic Forest, making water quality management critical for ecosystem health.
