The 6 MLD STP Kadugodi Treatment Plant is an operational wastewater treatment facility located in Kadugodi, a suburb of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. With a designed capacity of 6 million liters per day, it serves the local population as part of the city's wastewater management infrastructure. As a plant in India, it operates under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Environment Protection Act, 1986. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) set discharge standards for treated wastewater, which typically require secondary treatment for municipal plants of this scale. The treated effluent from the plant is likely discharged into a local water body that drains into the Dakshina Pinakini River or the Arkavathi River, both part of the Cauvery River basin. The Cauvery River supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical water source for agriculture and drinking water in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
