The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in the Yuhui District of Bengbu, a city in Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of 680,000, making it a large-scale municipal facility. The plant is situated along Quandi Road in Daqing Subdistrict, within the urban area of Bengbu. As a major treatment facility in China, the plant operates under national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment as a minimum for large agglomerations. China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan mandates advanced treatment for plants in sensitive areas, and facilities serving over 100,000 people are typically subject to stricter effluent limits. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Huai River, a major river in eastern China. The Huai River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Protecting this watershed is critical for downstream ecosystems and communities.

The Huai River supports a variety of fish species and is an important water source for the region. The surrounding area is densely populated and industrialized, making effective wastewater treatment essential to prevent eutrophication and protect aquatic habitats.
