Overview
The Hubei wastewater treatment plant serves Yangxin County in Hubei Province, China, with a population of 123,400. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Hubei wastewater treatment plant is located in Yangxin County, Huangshi City, Hubei Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 123,400 people, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category. The plant is situated in an inland area, more than 50 km from the coast. As a facility serving over 100,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's national discharge standards, which typically require secondary treatment or higher. China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan sets stringent effluent limits for such facilities, with regular monitoring by local environmental authorities. The plant's operational details are managed within the framework of provincial and national regulations. The treated effluent from the plant likely discharges into a local river or water body within the Yangtze River basin, given Hubei's geography. The Yangtze River system supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in this ecologically and economically vital watershed.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most important freshwater systems. Treated wastewater likely flows into a tributary of the Yangtze, eventually reaching the East China Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic species and provides water for millions of people. Effective treatment helps prevent eutrophication and protects the ecological health of the river and its delta.
