Jiangxi Wastewater Treatment Plant, Yudu County, Jiangxi Province, China

The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Yudu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 140,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the region's water infrastructure. As a facility serving a population of 140,000, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for key pollutants. The plant's treatment processes are designed to comply with these national standards, ensuring that effluent quality is controlled before discharge. The treated wastewater from the plant is discharged into local water bodies within the Gan River basin, which flows into Poyang Lake and eventually the Yangtze River. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting water quality in a major river system that supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for communities and agriculture.

The plant discharges into the Gan River basin, a tributary of the Yangtze River via Poyang Lake. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive wetlands and habitats that support migratory birds and freshwater species. Effective treatment is crucial to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain water quality in this important river-lake system.
