Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Baoying County in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. Designed for a capacity of 1.00 unit, it supports a population of 10,000.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Baoying County, part of Yangzhou City in Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of 10,000, placing it in the small agglomeration category under Chinese wastewater regulations. As a facility in China, the plant operates under national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment as a baseline for urban wastewater. The plant's operational status and treatment level are not confirmed, but it is assumed to meet local regulatory requirements. The plant discharges into a local water body within the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately drains into the East China Sea. The surrounding region is characterized by dense river networks and agricultural activity, making proper wastewater treatment essential for protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in managing local pollution loads and supporting the health of the watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Yangtze River, which flows into the East China Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for fisheries and agriculture. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads, protecting downstream ecosystems and water quality for communities relying on the river.
