Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Zhanggong District, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China, with a population equivalent of 480,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Shuixi Town, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 480,000, placing it in the large agglomeration category under Chinese regulatory frameworks. As a major municipal facility, the plant is expected to meet the discharge standards set by China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which typically require secondary or advanced treatment for plants of this scale. Regulatory requirements for large urban agglomerations in China mandate robust treatment to protect water quality. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the Gan River basin. The Gan River flows into Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and eventually into the Yangtze River. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting the ecological health of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River system, which supports diverse aquatic life and provides water resources for millions of people.
Environmental context
The plant's receiving waters drain into the Gan River, a major tributary of Poyang Lake, which in turn flows into the Yangtze River. Poyang Lake is a critical wetland ecosystem that supports migratory birds and fish species. The plant's discharge quality directly affects the lake's nutrient balance and overall ecological health, making effective treatment essential for preserving this important freshwater resource.
