Overview
The Hubei wastewater treatment plant serves Dangyang City in Hubei Province, China, with a population of 99,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, ensuring treated effluent meets local environmental requirements.
The Hubei wastewater treatment plant is located in Dangyang City, Yidu District, Yichang Prefecture, Hubei Province, China. It serves an estimated population of 99,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. As a municipal facility, the plant is expected to comply with China's 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 waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River basin. The Yangtze River is a critical ecological and economic resource, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for millions downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this vital watershed.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Yangtze River, one of the world's major river systems. The Yangtze basin supports a rich diversity of fish species and is an important migratory corridor for aquatic life. Downstream, the river passes through densely populated areas before reaching the East China Sea, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
