Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Haining, Zhejiang, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 150,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Haining, Zhejiang Province, China, serving a population of 150,000. The plant is situated in the Chang'an area, near the Zhijiang North Road, and is part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. It has a designed capacity of 1.00, indicating a large-scale facility. Under China's national wastewater standards, plants serving populations over 100,000 are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or higher, with nutrient removal in sensitive areas. It is expected to meet these regulatory requirements to protect local water bodies. The treated effluent likely discharges into the local river system, which flows into the Qiantang River and eventually into the East China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality and ecological balance.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the local river network, which drains into the Qiantang River and then the East China Sea. This coastal watershed supports fisheries and migratory species, making effective treatment crucial to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream ecosystems. The region's dense population and industrial activity add to the environmental sensitivity.
