Overview
Hubei wastewater treatment plant serves 28,000 people in Badong County, Hubei Province, China. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Hubei wastewater treatment plant is located in Wawuji Village, Badong County, within the Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture of Hubei Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 28,000 residents, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), set effluent quality requirements based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant discharges into local waterways that ultimately flow into the Yangtze River basin, a major ecological and economic corridor. The Yangtze River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this critical watershed.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local streams that drain into the Yangtze River, one of Asia's longest rivers and a vital freshwater resource. The Yangtze basin supports extensive biodiversity, including endemic fish species, and is an important migratory corridor for aquatic life. Protecting water quality in this watershed is essential for downstream communities and ecosystems.
