Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Wujin District, Changzhou, Jiangsu, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 31,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Wujin District, Changzhou, in Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 31,000 people, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category. As a facility in China, the plant operates under the national wastewater discharge standards set by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. These standards mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater, with more stringent requirements for plants discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's scale suggests it is subject to regular monitoring and compliance reporting. The plant discharges into the local water system within the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately flows into the East China Sea. The Yangtze basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for millions of people. The plant's operations contribute to protecting downstream water quality and the broader aquatic ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most important watersheds, which drains into the East China Sea. The receiving water body is likely a local river or canal that feeds into the Yangtze. This region supports diverse aquatic habitats and is critical for migratory fish species. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and protect downstream ecological health.
