Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Yicun village in Dayu County, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China, with a population of 68,300. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Yicun, a village within Dayu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 68,300 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), set effluent quality requirements based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically expected to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, especially if discharging into sensitive waters. The treated effluent from this plant likely discharges into a local river within the Gan River basin, which flows into Poyang Lake and eventually the Yangtze River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and communities downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in this ecologically important region.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters a tributary of the Gan River, which flows into Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake and a critical wetland for migratory birds. The lake connects to the Yangtze River, supporting a complex aquatic ecosystem. Effective wastewater treatment helps prevent eutrophication and protects biodiversity in this downstream environment.
