AMC Jalvihar Near Bhavans College Khanpur - Under-Construction Wastewater Treatment Plant in Asarva Taluka, Ahmedabad

AMC Jalvihar Near Bhavans College Khanpur is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located on RiverFront Road in Asarva Taluka, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. The plant is currently under construction and will serve a population of approximately 400,872, making it a large-scale facility for the region. As a plant under construction, its treatment process and capacity details are not yet finalized. However, for a facility of this scale in India, it is expected to comply with the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) standards, which typically require secondary or tertiary treatment before discharge into water bodies. The plant's location near the Sabarmati River suggests that treated effluent will likely be discharged into this river, which flows through Ahmedabad and eventually into the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea. The Sabarmati River is ecologically significant, supporting local biodiversity and providing water for irrigation and domestic use downstream.

The plant is situated in the Sabarmati River basin, which drains into the Gulf of Khambhat in the Arabian Sea. The Sabarmati River is a vital water source for Ahmedabad and surrounding areas, but it faces pollution pressures from urban and industrial activities. The new treatment plant aims to reduce organic and nutrient loads, improving water quality and supporting aquatic life in the river and coastal ecosystem.
