Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Jiangyin City in Jiangsu Province, China, with a population equivalent of 10,000. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and is located inland, discharging into local water bodies.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Gushan Town, Jiangyin City, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 10,000, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Chinese wastewater regulations. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent likely discharges into local rivers or lakes within the Yangtze River basin. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants of this scale are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or higher, depending on the sensitivity of the receiving water body. The plant contributes to the regional wastewater management infrastructure in the densely populated Yangtze River Delta. The receiving water body is not explicitly named, but the plant is located in the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately drains into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River Delta is a highly urbanized and industrialized region, making effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and water quality. The plant's discharge supports the ecological health of local rivers and the broader Yangtze estuary.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most important watersheds, which flows into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River Delta is a densely populated and economically vital region, with numerous rivers and lakes that support diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive area.
