Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Xishan District, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, with a population equivalent of 168,400. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Xishan District, Wuxi, within Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 168,400, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The facility is situated in the Yangtze River Delta region, a densely populated and economically vital area. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater. For agglomerations of this scale, advanced treatment may be required to meet local water quality objectives, particularly in sensitive watersheds. The designed capacity is 1.00, though the unit is unspecified. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that drain into the Yangtze River or its tributaries, ultimately reaching the East China Sea. The surrounding region is characterized by intensive agriculture and industry, making effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and water resources.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yangtze River Delta, one of China's most economically developed regions. Its treated effluent likely enters local rivers that flow into the Yangtze River, which discharges into the East China Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for fisheries and water supply. Effective treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal ecosystems.
