Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Leye County in Guangxi, China, with a population of 46,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Leye County, Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 46,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national standards set by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater. It is expected to comply with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for key pollutants. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Pearl River basin, a major river system in southern China. The Pearl River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water for millions of people downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect this ecologically and economically vital watershed.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local streams that are part of the Pearl River basin, which drains into the South China Sea. The Pearl River is one of China's largest river systems, supporting rich biodiversity including endemic fish species and providing critical habitat for migratory birds. The watershed faces pressures from urbanization and agriculture, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
