Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Zhanggong District, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China, with a population equivalent of 82,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Shahe Town, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves an estimated population of 82,000, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's water infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, especially in areas discharging to sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a tributary of the Gan River, which flows into Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and eventually into the Yangtze River. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and provides critical water resources for agriculture and communities in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the local watershed, which drains into the Gan River, a major tributary of Poyang Lake. Poyang Lake is a vital wetland ecosystem that supports migratory birds and fish species, and its water quality is influenced by upstream treatment plants. The lake ultimately connects to the Yangtze River, one of the world's most ecologically and economically significant waterways.
