ETE UCHOA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Jardim Paulista area of Uchoa, a municipality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The plant serves a population of about 6,372 people, placing it in the small agglomeration category for Brazilian wastewater infrastructure. Brazil's wastewater treatment is regulated by CONAMA resolutions and state-level environmental agencies. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet effluent standards before discharge. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per second or similar unit), indicating its operational scale. The treated effluent from ETE UCHOA is discharged into local water bodies that drain into the Turvo River basin, part of the larger Paraná River system. This region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agricultural and urban uses downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Turvo River, a tributary of the Paraná River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is important for regional water supply. The area is inland, reducing direct marine impact, but nutrient loading from treated effluent can affect freshwater habitats.
