The Chongqing wastewater treatment plant is located in Kaizhou District, Chongqing, China, serving an urban population of approximately 220,000 people. As a major municipal facility in the region, it plays a key role in managing wastewater from residential and commercial sources in the district. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater plants serving populations over 100,000. The facility's designed capacity of 1.00 unit suggests it is sized to handle the local wastewater load. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River basin, a critical waterway for central China. The plant's operations help protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and support water quality in the region's densely populated areas.
