Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves Huizhou, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population of 130,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China, serving a population of approximately 130,000. The facility is situated in the Daya Bay Economic and Technological Development Zone, an area with significant industrial and urban activity. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. The designed capacity of 1. China's regulatory framework, including the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, governs such facilities. The plant's discharge likely enters local waterways that drain into the South China Sea, given its proximity to the coast (within 50 km). The receiving water body supports regional aquatic ecosystems and is important for downstream fisheries and coastal water quality in the Daya Bay area.
Environmental context
The plant is located near the coast of the South China Sea, within the Daya Bay watershed. Treated effluent likely flows into local rivers or directly into the bay, which supports diverse marine life and is an important area for aquaculture and fishing. The region's subtropical climate and industrial activity necessitate careful management of nutrient and pollutant loads to protect coastal water quality and ecological health.
