Overview
Hubei wastewater treatment plant serves Jiangling County in Hubei Province, China, with a population of 38,000. The plant discharges into local waterways under China's national wastewater standards.
The Hubei wastewater treatment plant is located in Jiangling County, Hubei Province, China, serving a population of approximately 38,000 people. Situated in the Yangtze River basin, the plant is part of the region's municipal wastewater infrastructure, handling domestic sewage from the county and surrounding areas. Under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), plants serving populations of this scale are required to meet specific effluent limits. Typical facilities in this region employ biological treatment methods such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors to achieve the required pollutant removal. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately flow into the Yangtze River, one of China's most important waterways. The Yangtze River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for millions of people downstream. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect water quality in the river and its tributaries.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Yangtze River basin, which drains into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River is a critical freshwater resource supporting agriculture, industry, and drinking water for millions. Downstream ecosystems include wetlands and lakes that provide habitat for migratory birds and fish species. Protecting water quality in this basin is essential for maintaining ecological balance and human health.
