Overview
Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves 34,100 people in 寺头, Shaanxi, China. The facility operates under national wastewater regulations for inland communities.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in 寺头, a community in Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 34,100 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category. The plant is situated inland, far from coastal areas, and its operations are governed by China's national wastewater discharge standards. As a medium-sized facility, the plant is expected to provide at least secondary treatment under Chinese regulations (GB 18918-2002). The population served suggests a moderate scale. Typical facilities in this region employ biological treatment methods. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Yellow River basin. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural and rural land use, and the plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems. Proper treatment helps prevent eutrophication and maintains the ecological health of the region's rivers.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local streams that are part of the Yellow River basin, one of China's major river systems. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and domestic water supply. Protecting water quality in this basin is critical for regional agriculture and ecosystem health, as the Yellow River is a vital water source for northern China.
