Overview
ETE Campina Verde is a wastewater treatment plant serving the city of Campina Verde in Minas Gerais, Brazil. It operates under Brazil's national water quality regulations.
ETE Campina Verde is a wastewater treatment facility located in Campina Verde, a municipality in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The plant serves a population of approximately 14,619 residents, making it a medium-sized agglomeration for the region. As a Brazilian wastewater treatment plant, it is subject to CONAMA Resolution 430/2011 and other federal standards that set effluent discharge limits. For communities of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to reduce organic load and suspended solids before discharge. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Parana River basin, one of South America's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture and human consumption downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into tributaries of the Parana River basin, which flows through southeastern Brazil and into the Rio de la Plata estuary. This watershed supports important aquatic habitats and is used for irrigation and drinking water supply. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
