Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Wuxing District, Huzhou, Zhejiang, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population of 30,000.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Daixi Town, Wuxing District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 30,000 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under Chinese wastewater regulations. As a municipal facility in China, the plant operates under the national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. For agglomerations of this size, compliance with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002) is typical, ensuring treated effluent meets environmental protection requirements. The plant discharges into local water bodies within the Taihu Lake basin, a region known for its ecological sensitivity. The treated wastewater ultimately flows into Taihu Lake, which supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical water resource for the region. Proper treatment helps protect the lake from eutrophication and maintains water quality for downstream communities.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Taihu Lake basin, a major freshwater lake in eastern China. Treated effluent likely enters local rivers that drain into Taihu Lake, which is ecologically significant for its biodiversity and as a drinking water source. The lake faces challenges from nutrient pollution, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for preserving water quality and aquatic habitats.
